Iduna-Zentrum

The Iduna-Zentrum is a residential and commercial complex in Goettingen with several connected buildings. The site includes a residential tower of 18 stories alongside separate sections for offices and retail, totaling more than 37,000 square meters of usable space.

The complex was completed in 1975 and commissioned by Iduna Vereinigte Lebensversicherung, a Hamburg-based company. Architect Friedrich Wagener designed the building as an example of innovative post-war urban living concepts.

The complex represents a 1970s vision of combining residential, office, and retail functions in one location. You can observe today how this mixed-use approach shapes daily life and creates a self-contained urban environment.

The complex is easily accessible and offers visitors multiple levels to explore different sections. The buildings connect through a central pedestrian area on the ground floor, making it simple to move between the various functional zones.

Each building section operates as an independent unit with its own access while remaining part of the larger whole. This thoughtful design lets visitors explore individual parts without feeling crowded or confused about how they relate to each other.
