A meeting place for Berlin

Located close to Museum Island, DomAquarée is a popular meeting point for national and international visitors and businesses.

Conquering urban spaces

DomAquarée CityQuartier Berlin is embedded in an urban culture that blends development and tradition. In the heart of one of Europe’s most vibrant cities, it’s a marketplace and business location for meeting people and for communication, as well as a space to rest and relax. The focus is always firmly on people.

An excellent location for business and leisure in Berlin

DomAquarée is the ideal base from which to explore the historic heart of Berlin. Berlin Cathedral, the vibrant Hackescher Markt district and Alexanderplatz are just a few minutes’ walk away and the Unter den Linden boulevard is also nearby. Another advantage are the very good public transport links.

Architecture & history

DomAquarée’s architecture in the business center of Berlin blends seamlessly with the historic structures of the local district, thereby integrating the site into its surroundings. Its access pathways, alleys and public squares open up the whole ensemble to the outside world.

Architecture

A building ensemble as a piece of architectural art

Each of the buildings comprising the four-part ensemble has its own distinctive character thanks to the different façade design, which features Spanish sandstone. The Heiligegeistgasse passage with its glass roof connects the busy Karl-Liebknecht-Strasse with the Hackescher Markt area to the south – a favourite tourist destination. The proximity to water defines the architectural design by Sergei Tchoban. The cafés, restaurants and shops along the river Spree look out onto the waterfront.

History

An eventful past – an exciting future

The former Palasthotel had just been demolished and DomAquarée was still at the development stage when the first cafés started to open up, still surrounded by building sites. The vision of regenerating the area as a prestigious business and leisure location in the heart of Berlin was established early on. The largest new cultural building project in Europe, the recreation of Berlin Palace, offers exciting prospects: restoring the Brandenburg Gate – Unter den Linden axis will transform central Berlin.

Artistic concept

The open air gallery: Art in the neighbourhood

The open-air gallery at DomAquarée is a special highlight. Sculptures, installations and photography created by artists of international renown exclusively for this location offer an interesting take on contemporary art. The pieces serve as fun orientation aids through the site and give the CityQuartier a unique identity.

“Torwächter” by Stephan Balkenhol

Sculptor Stephan Balkenhol created three larger-than-life figures on wooden pillars in the Heiligegeistgasse entrance which act as “gatekeepers”.

“Changing Invisibility” fountains by Jeppe Hein

At the crossroads of the ensemble’s passages, Dane Jeppe Hein echoes the water motif of DomAquarée with his “Changing Invisibility” fountains.

“Pic-Nic Poker” by Massimo Vitali

The Italian photographer’s large-format photo of Paris’s Jardin du Luxembourg on the glass walls of the external elevator evokes DomAquarée as a place to see and be seen.

“Drei Mädchen und ein Knabe” by Wilfried Fitzenreiter

The sculpture once decorated the fountain in front of the former Palasthotel. In 2007, the four figures, three girls and a boy, were reinstated close to their original location and now look out over the Spree like mermaids at rest.
