It is a gem dating back to Imperial Germany, and an asset to Berlin as architectural landmark: Riehmers Hofgarten. At the time, Wilhelm Riehmer let his courage and visionary zeal as builder inspire him to bypass the urban planning standards of his day in favour of upscale liveability. Rather than sticking with the dense development of tenements grouped around tiny courtyards, the master builder in 1891/1892 used a plot he owned to create a magnificent ensemble elegantly embedded in a park-style garden. With close attention to detail and the diligence of a heritage curator, large parts of the splendid vintage building were restored. It positively beams now with its regained historic glamour. The patrician façades present themselves with bright structures whereas the staircases inside are dominated by warm earthy colours. The entrance doors to houses and flats, the windows and stair railings were overhauled in line with their original historic design. To meet sophisticated expectations, modern-day quality was seamlessly integrated. The lighting system as well as the bell and video intercom system complete the authentic design by adding upscale technology. Water supply lines and waste water pipes were replaced, while heating and electrical installations were either upgraded or replaced. The eleven entranceways are named after scions of the Hohenzollern dynasty. The entranceway at Grossbeerenstrasse 56D, for one, is called "Dorothea" and gives you the choice of stairs or lift to ascend to the flats. On the second floor lies a tenant-occupied unit of 139 square metres that presents a great buy-to-let investment opportunity in a very special and recently refurbished listed house. As a community, residents of this housing complex have the use of the attractive courtyard garden whose groomed trails, picnic lawns, boule court and playground offer various options for passing the time, hanging out and comparing notes.
In global city rankings, Berlin has been among the top ten for years. Complex cultural events, an engaging way of life, and a unique history have earned the metropolis its global renown. It motivates millions of visitors every year to come to Berlin to see for themselves. Over the past decade, about 400,000 of them were so captivated by the city that they decided to stay for good. To be sure, a high level of liveability makes it easy to fall in love with Berlin. But the city has so much more to offer. As a science hub, Berlin offers skills and knowledge in just about any scientific field you can think of. Moreover, Germany’s capital of start-up businesses has developed an economic dynamic that attracts companies from inside and outside the country. Its location in the European heartland recommends it as place of business every bit as much as its ability to provide high-skilled graduates and its proximity to the start-up scene with its innovative potential for prospering businesses of tomorrow. In Kreuzberg, the impulsive energy of young generations is keenly felt and reflected in up-and-coming trends. Aside from this district’s centrality and legendary hipness, life here is defined by a highly productive cultural scene and by creative diversity. Especially the Bergmannstrasse has enormous appeal. Every store here is one of a kind—whether it sells wine, pastry or coffee, antique junk, designer artefacts or vintage goods by the pound, gourmet dog food, vegan takeaway food or famous sausages—while the space in between is dotted with cinemas, theatres and churches that occasionally double as concert halls. All of this embedded in a historic setting of streets that are testimony to the cultural heritage of the city. Viktoriapark, Gleisdreieck Park or the vast grasslands of the former Tempelhof airport grounds provide plenty of outdoor space for local recreation and leisure activities.
The way to Grossbeerenstrasse 56D takes you along the paved private walkways inside the complex and through the idyllic courtyard garden. This building is located on the grounds, sheltered from the traffic on the surrounding streets. On the second floor lies a tenant-occupied 4-bedroom flat with a prestigious dwelling size of 139 square metres. You can take the lift to get here, but you would miss the beauty of the restored staircase. Entering the flat, you will find yourself in a lengthy hallway. All other rooms are accessible from here. The four regular bedrooms are located side by side on the front side of the building, which means they face south and overlook the courtyard garden. A particularly handsome room of 25 square metres occupies the obtuse corner of the house. It has windows on three sides, and is connected to the next room of 16 square metres via a double door. This room in turn has a connecting door to the next room, which is the largest at around 28 square metres. It comes with a balcony perfect for taking it easy on balmy days. The fourth room, exclusively accessible from the hallway and made extra bright by two windows, measures 24 square metres. The door to the kitchen is located right next to the front door. It looks out over the backyard, as does the bathroom, which is equipped with both shower and tub. At the far end of the hallway you will find a window-less guest WC. A basement store room is assigned to this unit, too. The flat features all the elements that typify period buildings, such as wooden board floors and historic plaster ornaments on high ceilings, as well as wooden doors and double-cased windows which were overhauled on the outside. Visitors are admitted via a modern bell and intercom system. The mail box system was also replaced in the course of the refurbishment. This is a great opportunity to invest in a heritage building in Berlin, upgraded to modern specifications, and to benefit long-term from its special potential.
