Commercial center: active since 1919
Herzbergstrasse in Berlin-Lichtenberg lends its name to the commercial center, which was built between 1916 and 1919 as a production site for AGA Automobilwerke. Since that time, this place has been used for commercial purposes almost without interruption, and a lot has happened over the past years.
If you would like to read up on the eventful history of the Herzberg Campus, we recommend the Berlin History App. The team has graciously already carefully researched all the details.
The cultural life in Lichtenberg is colorful and diverse and holds a number of surprises. The interactive map “Culture in Lichtenberg” provides a great overview of all the places and events. One of the many highlights is undoubtedly the Haubrok Foundation’s “Fahrbereitschaft”.
The industrial yard, which housed the SED’s transport department for high-ranking passenger transport in GDR times, is now home to various tradespeople. There are also studios and rehearsal rooms for artists, dancers and musicians as well as plenty of space for exhibitions.

The way people work has changed fundamentally since the historic premises were built, and we have also extended the transformation into a contemporary campus for working to the courtyard: Different seating options with raised beds now welcome tenants and visitors. In combination with various table elements, this has created an inviting space for outdoor computer work, team communication and relaxation.
The Herzberg-Campus is a beautiful example of how continuous development can completely transform a place. One day, you wake up and the seeds you sowed have somehow turned into flowers. Buildings have been renovated and the sunny offices and benches in the courtyard are suddenly all occupied.
