Borsighaus, Neo-Renaissance administrative building in Mitte, Germany.
Borsighaus is a four-story building with a sandstone facade, two projecting bays, and a triangular gable on Chausseestrasse 13. Today it houses a dental association, dental practices, and law offices among other tenants.
The building was constructed in 1899 by architects Reimer and Körte as the headquarters for the Borsig manufacturing company. Its use shifted after 1945, and it later became home to diverse commercial and professional tenants.
A bronze sculpture of a blacksmith by Gustav Blaeser adorns the entrance, reflecting Berlin's past as an industrial hub. The figure represents the skilled labor that once defined this area.
The building is centrally located in Mitte and easily accessible by public transport. Most areas are accessible to the public, though it is worth checking specific office hours beforehand.
The name Borsig remains carved above the entrance, a reminder of August Borsig and his renowned locomotive factory. This inscription quietly marks Berlin's industrial heritage at this central location.
