ExRotaprint

ExRotaprint is an architectural complex featuring modernist design with a corner tower, butterfly-style roofs, and white plastered facades combined with simplified brick structures. The ensemble is spread across Gottschedstraße and Bornemannstraße, forming a cohesive set of post-war buildings.

The site originated as a factory for the Rotaprint company and took its current architectural form in the 1950s. Following the company's bankruptcy in 1989, the buildings received protected heritage status in 1991.

The complex functions today as a hub for artists and creators who work in the studios and share their exhibitions with the public. This active use gives the place a living role in Berlin's cultural scene.

The site is best explored on foot by strolling through the neighboring streets and viewing the various buildings from street level. Dining options are available on-site for visitors to use between their explorations.

Architect Klaus Kirsten designed the main building with extensive glass surfaces that give it a theater-like appearance. This striking use of glass was notably innovative for a factory built in the 1950s.
