The Allgemeine Grainstore is a former granary now used for office space and parking facilities. It is located at 17 Philosophenweg, Duisburg Inner Harbour.[1] The warehouse was built for the "Allgemeine Speditionsgesellschaft" (General Express Company). When it was built in 1936 it transformed the technology of concrete silo construction technology.[1]

It stands prominently on its own near the Holzhafen. The building was rebuilt in 1999 to designs of the architects Bahl and Partners. The building was dismantled down to its foundations.[2] The façade was reconstructed out of clinker, glass and metal to preserve its historic appearance. Nevertheless it has a highly efficient building shell.[3] It houses office space which can accommodate 200 workers.[2]
