Pelikanhaus, Heritage cigarette factory in Kreuzberg, Germany
The five-story Pelikanhaus features large window surfaces, classical column designs, and decorative elements including life-sized atlases on the fourth floor.
Constructed between 1901 and 1905, the building initially housed the metal goods factory Hompesch & Co before becoming a cigarette factory in 1925.
The neoclassical structure reflects early 20th-century industrial architecture with its iron skeleton, sandstone elements, and Greek-inspired column designs.
Located at Ritterstraße 9-10 in Berlin, the building now serves as headquarters for MYKITA, a glasses manufacturer since 2014.
The facade displays a central relief with a pelican emblem and golden inscription, marking its period as the headquarters of the Pelikan writing instruments company.
