Ermelerhaus

Ermelerhaus is a three-story Baroque building with Rococo interiors in Berlin-Mitte. It features painted walls, gilt wrought iron stair railings, and wooden spiral staircases that rise through multiple floors.

The original building was constructed in 1567 on Breite Strasse. After wartime destruction, it was moved around 500 meters to Wallstrasse in 1966 and faithfully reconstructed with its historical features through 1969.

The name comes from Ferdinand Wilhelm Ermeler, a tobacco merchant who shaped the building and made it a center for social gatherings. The rooms still reflect how wealthy Berlin families lived and entertained during the 1800s.

The building is available for events like civil ceremonies and conferences and connects directly to the adjoining art'otel Berlin Mitte. Visitors should expect narrow, steep interior stairs when exploring the historic rooms.

The building was honored with its own postage stamp during the German Democratic Republic period, making it a rare example of a private residence commemorated this way. This recognition reflected the building's deep roots in local history and culture.
