History and Creative Community

Gaswerksiedlung was built between 1925-26 by Ernst Engelmann and Emil Fangmeyer for the workers and staff of the coal-to-gas plant that was located nearby.

Operations of the industrial site have been discontinued in the 1980s and the former grounds have since been cleaned thoroughly. The current scrub land awaits its future use as a new thermal power plant but will also partly be kept as a protected area.

The development plan for south Rummelsburg launched in 2011 provided for Gaswerksiedlung to convert from residential to commercial usage. Due to its status of “protected monument” and small-scale floor layout, its conversion into a studio house for all kinds of creative “industries” was just logical.

Since 2018, Gaswerksiedlung offers a home to numerous musicians and sound engineers, visual artists of all kinds, stage builders, filmmakers, architects…

It is owned by Vattenfall Wärme AG and operated by Gaswerksiedlung Berlin GmbH.
