Kontorhaus am Markt, Protected heritage building in Mitte, Germany.

Kontorhaus am Markt is a three-storey neo-Renaissance office building at the Bremen Marktplatz, with addresses at Langenstrasse 2/8, Stintbruecke 1 and Bredenstrasse 13. Its market-facing double gable has an open Gothic-vaulted arcade with ten ornamental sculptures on columns, while the lower two storeys along Langenstrasse are clad in clinker brick. The three-part main portal is framed by columns bearing allegorical figures.

The building was constructed between 1910 and 1912 for the Disconto-Gesellschaft, a Berlin-based commercial bank with branches in Bremen, Frankfurt, London and Hamburg until 1929. The Berlin architects Richard Bielenberg and Josef Moser designed it in neo-Renaissance style. The smaller gabled houses behind the Schütting were demolished in 1913 for the chamber of commerce extension, not for this building.

The building is being converted for the Stadtmusikanten- und Literaturhaus, a Town Musicians and literature centre that formed part of Bremen's application to UNESCO's City of Literature network. The city plans to rent the finished space, which will sit in the Balge quarter near the market square.

The building is visible and easy to locate since it sits at a central plaza in the city center. The planned renovation of the upper levels will create new exhibition areas and office spaces, meaning the interior experience will change over time as work progresses.

The market-facing double gable carries ten ornamental sculptures standing on columns above an open, Gothic-vaulted arcade. The three-part main portal on Langenstrasse is framed by columns topped with allegorical figures. The lower two storeys of the Langenstrasse facade are clad in clinker brick, contrasting with the Muschelkalk stonework above.
