Oranienburger Straße 27

Oranienburger Straße 27 is a neoclassical residential building in Berlin-Mitte featuring a prominent balcony, dormer windows with cast zinc rosettes, and a marked central axis arrangement. The complex combines residential units with commercial spaces including offices, galleries, restaurants, and a teahouse.

The building was constructed between 1840 and 1866 and served as a residence for the Goldberger banking family. Ludwig Max Goldberger, a resident here, became co-founder of Dresdner Bank and shaped the financial importance of the place.

The renovated courtyard complex houses multiple art galleries and creative workspaces that shape the neighborhood with regular exhibitions and events. Artists and creative practitioners use the spaces, contributing to the local cultural life in this part of Berlin.

The building sits near the New Synagogue and is easy to locate in this lively part of Mitte. Visitors should note that it is a mix of residential and commercial spaces, with some areas private and only certain facilities like galleries and restaurants open to the public.

The first floor preserves original wall decorations and marquetry from the era of Friedrich Wilhelm IV, protected by glass. These carefully maintained details showcase the craftsmanship of the 19th century interior finishes.
