Gerichtshöfe, Architectural ensemble in Berlin-Mitte, Germany.

The Gerichtshöfe is a building complex at Gerichtstraße 12 in Gesundbrunnen, built in 1912 on a roughly 9,000 m² site between Wiesenstraße and Gerichtstraße, the street that gives it its name. It consists of five courtyards with several cross-buildings and side wings, and today holds apartments, small businesses and around 70 artist studios.

Construction of the roughly 9,000 m² site began around 1860 for the J.D. Riedel chemical factory, which made gas mantles for Berlin's street lamps and quinine. Those early factory buildings, stables and warehouses were demolished by 1912 to make way for the present five-courtyard complex. In 1983, amid vacant commercial space in West Berlin, the state-owned Gesobau let the first rooms to artists at low rents.

More than 70 artists and craftspeople work in the Gerichtshöfe and open their studios to visitors during regular exhibitions and events. The place comes alive through different artistic disciplines meeting and collaborating on shared projects.

Access is through two main entrances at Gerichtstraße 12-13 and Wiesenstraße 62, with GESOBAU AG managing the property. It remains an active artist workspace, so visitors should be respectful and check ahead about current exhibitions or open studio days.

The artists' association Kunst in den Gerichtshöfen e. V., founded in 2004, organises the two-day "Nacht & Tag in den Gerichtshöfen" with free studio tours, plus the annual "Kunst im Karton" Christmas show. The association is non-profit and funded solely by membership fees, and all artists may take part regardless of membership.
