Harnack House

Harnack House is a building for scientific conferences and research visits in Dahlem. It features multiple seminar rooms, a dining area, and accommodation spaces for visiting scholars who gather and collaborate here.

The building opened in 1929 as a guest house for the Kaiser Wilhelm Society. Until 1943 around 35 Nobel Prize winners visited, helping establish it as a center for scientific exchange.

The building served as a gathering place where scholars from different fields could share ideas and work together. Today the rooms still reflect this tradition as a space where scientific discussions continue.

The building offers reasonable accommodation rates for international scholars and connects to central Berlin by public transportation within about 30 minutes. Visitors should plan for some travel time from the airport or main train station.

The building maintains several rooms named after important scholars and displays its original architecture from the construction year. These details help visitors feel a direct connection to the scientific history of the place.
