Steglitzer Kreisel, Office building in Steglitz, Germany
The Steglitzer Kreisel is an office tower with 27 floors rising 120 meters and positioned diagonally across from the town hall on Schlossstrasse. The building's base integrates directly with the Rathaus Steglitz subway station, bus stops, retail shops, and a parking garage.
Construction began in 1968 under architect Sigrid Kressmann-Zschach, but financial troubles and a bankruptcy filing in 1974 delayed the project's completion until 1980. The extended building period reflects the economic obstacles that shaped the project's realization.
The site once hosted a theater and cinema that drew crowds and shaped the neighborhood as an entertainment hub. Today, its central location still serves as a gathering point where locals and visitors move through the urban landscape.
The building sits directly adjacent to a major subway station, making access and navigation in the area straightforward. Visitors will find transport connections, shops, and parking all clustered together at ground level.
Since 2015, plans have emerged to convert the former office tower into residential apartments following extensive asbestos remediation. This transformation shows how older structures in Berlin are finding new purpose for residents seeking contemporary homes.
