Bertelsmann Corporate Center

The Bertelsmann Corporate Center is the administrative headquarters of the media and services corporation in North Rhine-Westphalia. The building houses central departments for finance, personnel, and information technology along with executive offices.

The site opened in 1976 and expanded multiple times to support the company's growth, starting from a small publishing house in 1835. This development reflects the rise of Bertelsmann into one of the world's largest media corporations.

The site represents a company that grew from a publishing business into a worldwide corporation, now employing thousands of workers in the region. Its presence shapes the identity of Gütersloh and is deeply connected to the city's character.

The building is located at Carl-Bertelsmann-Strasse 270 with good connections to the A2 motorway and Gütersloh railway station for intercity trains. Visitors should note that access is limited to public areas, as this is a private administrative facility.

The building received the designation Corporate Center in 2001, replacing its German name Hauptverwaltung and marking the company's shift toward an international organization. This renaming reflected Bertelsmann's expanding global focus.
