Dietrich-Bonhoeffer-Haus, Gebäude in der Ziegelstraße 30 in Berlin-Mitte
The Dietrich-Bonhoeffer-Haus is a hotel and conference building at Ziegelstraße 30, located directly behind the Friedrichstadt-Palast. The seven-story structure was completed in 1987 and now offers 75 rooms, several meeting spaces, and a restaurant serving regional dishes.
The building was constructed in 1987 as a meeting and administrative center for the Protestant Church in East Germany, funded by West German contributions. In 1989, it hosted the first sessions of the Central Round Table, where government and opposition members gathered during a pivotal moment of change.
The building is named after Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a Lutheran pastor and theologian who resisted the Nazi regime. This naming connects the hotel's daily use to the memory of moral courage and Christian values that remain present in this place.
The hotel is easily accessible by public transportation and within walking distance of most major museums, theaters, and Berlin's main attractions. The building features accessibility options for people with mobility challenges, allowing all guests to move through the spaces comfortably.
The building served originally as an administrative center for the Protestant Church when it opened in 1987, but has operated as a hotel since 1993 while maintaining some of its church functions. Inside, a small chapel remains active today for services and quiet reflection.
