It had ice-cold storage rooms in the cellar area and its own railway connection to deliver goods. Until 1893, the extension of the central market hall was built on the opposite side of the street (Central Market Hall Ia or II). The Central Market Hall parts survived the First World War and the economic crisis to a large extent without damage, only in 1944 it was ruined. The Hall I, rebuilt in need of help, helped provide the East Berlin population. Hall Ia was dismantled. In the 1960s the first market hall was also destroyed. Some parts were integrated into a new building at the same place.	More pictures

The diesel engine, named after Rudolf Diesel, is an internal combustion engine in which ignition of the fuel is caused by the elevated temperature of the air in the cylinder due to mechanical compression; thus, the diesel engine is a so-called compression-ignition engine. This contrasts with engines using spark plug-ignition of the air-fuel mixture, such as a petrol engine or a gas engine.
