Oberbaum-City, Industrial heritage complex in Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg, Germany.

The former lamp factory complex spans multiple buildings with distinct architectural features, including red and yellow brick facades and decorative stone fountains.

Originally Berlin's first waterworks until 1893, the site transformed into Deutsche Gasglühlicht AG's manufacturing hub, producing OSRAM lamps throughout the early 1900s.

The renovation of this industrial complex transformed manufacturing spaces into contemporary offices, hosting over 70 companies in technology, design, and creative industries.

The complex occupies several streets including Ehrenbergstraße, Rudolfstraße, Rotherstraße, and Naglerstraße, with multiple public transportation connections to central Berlin.

The site's central tower, constructed in the 1920s as Berlin's first high-rise building, features a five-story glass crown used as a permanent burning laboratory.
