LEGENDARY
FRIEDRICHSTADT
Since the 18th century, Friedrichstadt has been the heart of the city of Berlin.
During the 19th century, a business and amusement district sprung up along Friedrichstrasse, a high-street bisecting it. But it was mainly known as financial, newspaper and government district.
It has always been the beating heart of the capital.
A LIVING LEGEND.
Today, Friedrichstadt reconnects to its grand past: No longer on the fringes of a divided city, it is once again part of Berlin’s old-new centre.
Inside a radius of a few hundred metres around Haus Friedrichstadt, you will not only find plenty of tourist hotspots but also a vibrant cultural scene and nightlife.
Lately, the area has visibly been turning into a creativity hub, defined by media (after all, it is the former newspaper district), forward-looking start-ups along with their advisors and service providers.
MODERNIST EXTERIOR.
Haus Friedrichstadt was designed in 1934 by Jürgen Bachmann a well-known architect in his day. Originally built as “Kempinski-Haus”, it hosted the wine shop and delicatessen of that name, which went on to grow into a global hotel chain.
In its prominent location, the building not only looked exceptionally modern, it truly was an advanced construction, being one of the first steel skeleton buildings in Germany. Without this type of structure, flexible floors in line with today’s standards would be quite impossible, so that the house is arguably something of a landmark.
Its extremely solid construction with ferroconcrete ceilings and reinforced roof made it very rugged. It protected the house against major wartime damages and survived all the the decades since intact.
The historic details of the protected building have been largely preserved, not least because the previous owners made a serious effort to restore the original state of the building and to conserve the historic building fabric in conjunction with a comprehensive refurbishment.
At Haus Friedrichstadt, the ideas of Modernism and Functionalism interact with Art Déco elements to form a style that reflects the aesthetics of the building’s era. The vertically articulated façade, which picks up on the purposes of the various floors as an aesthetic design principle, was inspired by the idea that “form follows function.” The concept is also illustrated by the windowless sections on the north and south sides of the buildings, which leave large advertising surfaces along the building’s lines of sight. Just as typical of its day and age are the pilaster strips above the main entrance, further accentuated by their vertical illumination, a modernist tribute to the contemporary fascination with urbanity and great height.

The listed façade will be restored with
close attention to detail, and upgraded
with lighting concept inspired by
the original modernist architecture. In addition to the main entrance on Friedrichstrasse,
the building can be accessed via a
second entrance on the corner of Leipziger
Strasse that is equally presentable.
MODERN INTERIOR.
Entranceways and staircases are of recognisable Art-Déco design and make liberal use of costly materials. The contemporary wall cladding of coloured marble, the stair railings with their red handrails and brass-coloured balusters, and the ceilings with their abstract Art Déco pattern, are preserved in their original state and are subject to heritage protection.
Proceeding inside, past the lobby, will take you 100 years into the future.
Inside the building, state-of-the-art work environments will be created for tomorrow’s needs: bright areas meeting the highest standards, restructured at great cost and highly flexible, providing the infrastructure and quality in use you would expect from a new building.
Thus, this steel skeleton building with its felicitous history offers the unique opportunity to combine the best of two worlds.
Outside: prestigious architectural landmark.
Inside: state-of-the-art office units.
