Schicklerhaus, Neoclassical office building in Berlin-Mitte, Germany
The Schicklerhaus is a neoclassical office building in Berlin-Mitte designed with three large courtyards and four light wells. The structure combines practical office space with a thoughtful interior layout that ensures good lighting throughout the building.
The building was erected in 1910 by the architecture firm Hiller & Kuhlmann, originally designed with retail shops on the ground floor and offices on the upper levels. This mixed-use arrangement was typical for Berlin's commercial structures of that era.
The building served as a hub for political education and attracted leading thinkers during the Weimar Republic. Its spaces reflect a period when intellectual exchange and debate took place within these walls.
The building is centrally located just a short walk from several transit stations, making it easily accessible by public transportation. Visitors should be aware that some areas may not be open to the public.
In the 1930s the building housed a Marxist Workers School that served as a learning space for social ideas and political thought. This chapter of the structure's history reflects the politically turbulent times Berlin experienced during that period.
