Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Coord
The Banjaratma Heritage Rest Area, or Rest Area KM 260B, is a rest area on the Trans-Java Toll Road within Brebes Regency, Central Java, Indonesia.
It is located on kilometer 260 within the Pejagan-Pemalang section of the toll road's length, in the Jakarta direction.[1] It occupies the site of a former colonial sugar factory. The factory itself operated from 1913 to 1998, and was abandoned for around twenty years. It was revitalized by a consortium of government-owned companies following the opening of the toll road, and the rest area began operations in 2019.
History
Sugar mill
The Banjaratma sugar mill, owned initially by Amsterdam-based sugar plantation company NV Cultuurmaatschappij, began construction in 1908 and operations in 1913.[2] The factory doubles as a research station on sugarcane plantation and milling.[3] In its operations, to secure a supply of sugarcane, the factory "rented" land from surrounding landholding peasants, who in turn often moved to work in urban areas while landless farmers from elsewhere cultivated the sugarcane.[4]
While most sugar mills in Java closed during the Japanese occupation of the Dutch East Indies, the Banjaratma mill continued to operate.[5] During the Indonesian National Revolution, the factory was seized by local pro-independence militias from the Japanese occupiers.Шаблон:Sfn A number of Eurasian workers of the factory were rounded up and killed in the Bersiap era.Шаблон:Sfn After Indonesian independence and nationalization of Dutch firms, the sugar mill was owned by the government-operated agricultural companies.[6] Reduced supply of sugarcane, coupled with increased operating costs and aging machinery caused the factory to shutdown in 1998, its final production being done in 1997.[7] The building was abandoned, and a rumored haunting even became subject of a 2013 Trans 7 TV episode.[8]
Revitalization
By 2016, construction of the Trans-Java Toll Road had reached Brebes Regency, and the path of the toll road (specifically the Pejagan-Pemalang section) passed within the sugar mill's 25-hectare complex. There was initial local opposition to the construction, as at that time the building had been designated a Cultural Property of Indonesia.[9] In order to preserve and utilize the old factory, a consortium of six Indonesian government-owned firms invested Rp 250 billion for the factory's revitalization and for the construction of a toll road rest area.[10] It began operations on 17 March 2019.[11]
Facilities
The rest area contains standard facilities for Indonesian rest areas such as a mosque, a Pertamina gas station, parking spaces, and a food court.[12] As one of the largest rest areas in Indonesia, the complex measures 10.4 hectares with the main building itself covering 1.6 hectares, and contains several tourist attractions such as a colonial-era steam locomotive which carried sugarcane and a mini-zoo. It is also host to a number of stalls selling products from local SMEs of Brebes, such as salted eggs.[12][13] The main building's interior is relatively preserved, with the original ornamented brick walls sitting between modern stalls.[1]
