Regenbogenfabrik Berlin

The Regenbogenfabrik is a community center and protected monument on Lausitzer Straße in Berlin-Kreuzberg with many functions. The building houses a kindergarten, wood workshop, bicycle repair shop, hostel, café, and event spaces all together.

The building emerged in 1981 during Berlin's housing occupation movement as a response to the shortage of housing. It was recognized as a cultural monument and protected in 1998.

The place is shaped by its residents and visitors themselves, without fixed hierarchies or central management. The spaces reflect this open organization and encourage people to work together.

The location is at Lausitzer Straße 22 and is easily reached by public transport. The different areas are laid out intuitively, and there is a café where you can rest between activities.

The building was originally a factory and kept its mixed use with residential and working areas together. This combination of living and working under one roof is typical of Kreuzberg's industrial past.
