Krausenhöfe

Krausenstraße 38 · 10117 Berlin

The Krausenhöfe captivate with their unique location between the historic centre of Berlin and the productive office locations. Their facade, steeped in history, is reflected in the glazed front of the “powerhouse of creativity” opposite, the new Axel Springer building opening in 2020. Behind the façade of the Krausenhöfe, variable rental spaces open up that meet the highest demands for efficient working. Flex-spaces, meeting and social areas are just as available as retreats for focused work. The historical substance always comes into view discreetly and provides proof that monument renovation, sophisticated interior design and future-oriented building technology can be perfectly harmonised with each other. The roof terraces crown the Krausenhöfe – with a breathtaking view over the roofs of Berlin.
