WIP: Shed for craftsman
Designed by Alfred Messel (1853-1909) and build in 1895.
It was a part of a building project for Homes for Workers of the Siemens turbine factory in the Sickingenstraße 7-8 in Berlin Moabit, It's about 2 kilometer away from where I live ...
At that time housing for worker a normally 4-5 floors high. To save costs for land they put house behind house with 4-7 backyards. In one of those this Shed was standing, sheltering a tiny craftsman company.

WIP: Gunsmith Workshop
Architect was Friedrich Kallmeyer (1859-1916), build in 1906.
The building was a part of the cavalry barracks in Krefeld. One side was a gunsmith workshop, the other a garage for Krümperwagen (I don't find a translation) and in the middle part storage rooms for sports equipment.

About Krümperwagen, there is no English word, but Grok finds a good explanation"
"Krümper-": This likely relates to the "Krümpersystem," a Prussian military reform introduced by Gerhard von Scharnhorst in the early 19th century.
The Krümpersystem was a method of conscription designed to circumvent Napoleonic restrictions on the size of the Prussian army after the Treaty of Tilsit (1807).
It involved training small groups of recruits (3–5 men per company) for short periods and then releasing them to the reserves, replacing them with new trainees.
This system effectively built a large reserve force without maintaining a standing army that violated French-imposed limits.
"-wagen": In German, "Wagen" means "wagon" or "cart," a common term in military contexts for vehicles used to transport supplies,
equipment, or personnel (e.g., "Gepäckwagen" for baggage wagon or "Lastkraftwagen" for truck).

A "mire" (cf. Latin mirus or (fem.) mira "remarkable" or "striking") is a system of two or more target markers used to define a precise reference direction, such as the north-south direction, for astronomical devices or navigation instruments.
The term originates from classical astrometry, which, at earlier observatories, required precise meridian markers to align the instrument axes with the meridian or east-west direction.
