Gutenberg Höfe

Gutenberg Höfe represents a typical Berlin factory and commercial loft, built in 1898. Where the traditional "Gutenberg" printing house with the associated publishing house once had its headquarters, there are now open space loft offices and multiple apartments.

From the former printing house to a modern Loft Campus
Gutenberg Höfe are part of the formative industrial landmarks that are located I Berlin’s vivid center.

Situated between Torstraße, Kollwitzkitz and Kastanienalle, Gutenberg Höfe is directly located at the Teutoburger Platz, which is where the creative, innovative, and digital Berlin is located.

The numerous listed buildings and courtyards –partly hidden and framed by the Pfefferberg area with its various restaurants, pubs, galleries and studios - are home to one start-up after the other.

An example: In the neighboring courtyard, the Viessmann Group's Maschinenraum, which was formerly known as Goldpunkt shoe factory, was recently opened. The innovation laboratory of German medium-sized companies is known far beyond the borders of the federal capital. A special kind of digital lab was created under the artistic direction of the Pott office.

The Gutenberghöfe have been looked after by Atelier Pott / Seckler Architects. Ingo Pott has already brought the project Opernlofts at Weinbergpark to new life for us.
