Medienhaus der Funke Mediengruppe, Media headquarters in Westviertel, Essen, Germany

The Funke Mediengruppe Media House is an architectural structure in Essen's Westviertel district, consisting of three connected structures including a five-story round tower and two main buildings. The complex contains editorial offices, production areas, conference spaces, dining facilities, a fitness center, and a rooftop terrace.

The site originated as a printing house built in the 1920s by Theodor Reismann-Grone. After severe damage during World War II, the facility was later rebuilt and expanded.

The building stands in Essen's newspaper quarter, where media organizations established themselves throughout the 20th century. Visitors can still see traces of this journalistic tradition in the neighborhood today.

The complex sits on a roughly 12,000-square-metre plot at the southern end of Segerothstraße, with the round Medienhaus 2 tower at Berliner Platz and the two long Medienhaus 1 wings running about 285 metres eastward. The area around the tower was named Jakob-Funke-Platz in September 2017. As this is an active office building, interior access may be limited to scheduled tours or special events.

The round Medienhaus 2 tower carries a 7.5-metre-high, 40-metre-long illuminated wall made of 480,000 electronic pixels, which displays news. The black cladding of Medienhaus 1 is meant to evoke a coal seam and printer's ink, while the round tower echoes the shape of a printing cylinder.
