Wohnheim WassertorplatzKohlfurter Straße 2/4, Erkelenzdamm 45/47/49 · 10999 Berlin

Overview

This project in the middle of Kreuzberg dates back to 1977. Students and residents of Kreuzberg got together in this STUK (Students and Kreuzberg residents) project, which offers accommodation ranging from one- to ten-room flats.

The buildings provide a total of 43 accommodations as well as several commercial-use areas. The angular construction with its glass towers and walkway along a flattened ridge is distinguishable from the neighbouring buildings from afar. A green house (70 m²) is located on the roof and a combined heat and power unit in the cellar.

Within the scope of this project, several old buildings at the Wassertorplatz, which were originally destined for demolition, were renovated with a major self-help component, and a new form of cohabitation of students and non-students was developed. The students were included in the renovation and reconstruction work at an early stage.

The Student Services rent 13 of the flats in this building to students, after a selection process involving representatives of the other residents of the facility and the Student Services.

The demand for apartments in this Wohnheim is very high and significantly exceeds the offer.
