Area

The ten-storey head-end building with the familiar “STOP WARS” and “Allesandersplatz” lettering is the visible sign of the transformation at the Haus der Statistik. From the end of 2026, affordable long-term spaces for art, culture, social affairs and education will be created here on seven floors – supplemented by a low-threshold, publicly accessible first floor. Space for Berlin’s administration will be created on the three other floors from the end of 2025.

From 2025, new administrative uses will move into the Haus der Statistik: The Mitte-Tiergarten tax office will move into the areas in building sections B and C.

BIM Berliner Immobilienmanagement GmbH will be based in Building D and on the top three floors of Building A. The space has been extensively renovated and upgraded to make it energy-efficient for the future – including green roofs and photovoltaics.

The “Town Hall of the Future” is being built on the northern part of the site – a new place for local democracy, citizen services and social exchange. The building will comprise around 26,000 m² of floor space and combines modern administration with open, public uses. The aim is to create a transparent, accessible and sustainable administration for Mitte.

WBM Wohnungsbaugesellschaft Berlin-Mitte mbH is building a total of 290 affordable apartments at the Haus der Statistik – half of which are publicly subsidized. The offer will be supplemented by cluster apartments for communal living and 17 commercial units.

The three experimental houses create additional spaces for the Haus der Statistik initiative’s usage program. Developed by ZUsammenKUNFT Berlin eG and AndersBauen gGmbH, new spaces for sustainable business, social learning and inclusive living are being created in ecological timber construction – directly adjacent to the new WBM buildings. Completion is planned for 2028 to 2030.

The curated first floors are a central component of the Haus der Statistik. Around 3,000 m² of vibrant spaces for culture, education, meetings and neighborhood use are being created here. Curated means: needs are identified, uses are coordinated – so that the first floor forms the social backbone of the district. Completion: 2025-2031.

From 2025, a variety of publicly accessible open spaces will be created around the Haus der Statistik: places for meetings, cultural activities, games and sport. The basis for this is the 2023 workshop process for open space design. The areas will be activated in a low-threshold, inclusive and collaborative way – with the aim of testing long-term redesigns.

Since May 2022, the pioneers have been using the temporary buildings KARLA, ALEXIS (until spring 2025) and OTTO in the open spaces around the Haus der Statistik. Built from recycled containers, they offer space for exchange, culture, education and neighborhood – from workshops and theater to cooking events with refugees and monthly co-markets in summer.

Under the name “WERKSTATT”, KARLA houses the information point for the Haus der Statistik project, pioneer uses, an event room and the garden.

OTTO, located directly at Otto-Braun-Straße 72, not far from Alexanderplatz, regularly hosts exhibitions, concerts, workshops, choir rehearsals, theater formats, cooperation projects with and for refugees and much more. Many small-scale uses find space here under a common barrel roof.
