Cultural Heritage

Rare and Precious

A building cluster that stands out from the standard architecture of its day and age – this was the idea of master builder Riehmer, which he implemented brilliantly. In the age of industrialisation, housing in this area tended to take the form of densely built tenements. Riehmer rejected the concept, aiming for high-end quality of living instead and designing a complex buildings with a private street and generous garden sections in between. The result was a quiet, green idyll in the middle of the city.

 

Art and culture represent the things that elevate us and enhance our day-to-day lives. The same was true in 1881, when Wilhelm Riehmer planned Riehmers Hofgarten withits magnificent portals, many artisanal elements, glamorous bourgeois flats and the courtyard garden that inspired the name of the quarter. To this day, the place is a gem – for those who love the arts and who wish to live their dream of a modern urban life in a unique urban sanctuary. An inhabitable cultural artefact. Rare, precious, authentic. A cultural heritage.

A historic cultural monument with renewed splendour

At the end of the 19th century, a residential ensemble was created in Berlin-Kreuzberg, which was far ahead of its time.
