BLUM-Neuinterpretation Blumenpavillon einschl. Verbindungsbauten

The reinterpretation of the : the Blumenpavillon and the Vermehrungshaus, including the connecting corridors, is based on the historical geometry, as evidenced by the exposed existing foundations of the original buildings.

The various individual structures are consolidated into a single building or building ensemble. The heterogeneous building volumes are unified by a continuous eaves line at the same height, creating a harmonized overall appearance. The low height of the eaves is derived from the height of the connecting door to the Oberhaus.

The finished floor level (OKFF) for the new buildings is taken from the Blue House and is maintained across all new elements.

The connection from the Blumenpavillon to the Oberhaus is made directly through the first corridor. The Vermehrungshaus is also connected to the Blumenpavillon via a corridor. These corridors adopt the eaves line of the adjacent building sections. The front edge of the Vermehrungshaus roof extends to just in front of the outer wall of the Blue House, forming a kind of covered “forecourt” and access area, without establishing a direct structural connection. This “forecourt” connects not only the buildings but also the café garden and the perennial nursery.

GRENZ- UND MUSEUMSHAFEN BERLIN

The Binnenschifffahrtsmuseum

The Binnenschifffahrtsmuseum, located in the western section of the pier and to the right of the main pavilion, is accessed via the same entrance used for the Grenzstegmuseum. From there, pontoons that lead around the historic pier guide visitors to the access platform for the Priority 1 and 2 Museumsschiffe, ensuring a smooth and heritage-sensitive visitor flow.

The marina

The marina has its own separate access, allowing access control to be managed independently from the museums. It is located to the right of the main pavilion, between the Binnenschifffahrtsmuseum and the southern bank of the Spree River, and offers space for 70 boats.

From the main pavilion, a 210-meter-long pontoon leads to mooring docks for private boats. At the end of the pontoon system, there is a service pavilion equipped with sanitary facilities and a terrace.

GRENZ- UND MUSEUMSHAFEN BERLIN: Spaces and Visitor Experience

From the plaza, visitors enter a foyer, from which a broad, representative staircase with wide landings leads down to the pavilion at water level. This staged gradation allows for an immersion into history and creates distance from the city, enabling an undisturbed contemplative space. The proximity to the water and the mirrored ceiling transform the space itself into an exhibition object, where light and reflections are part of the staging. The exhibition thus offers an intimate, sensory experience in which filtered light, muted water sounds, and framed views provide an introspective narrative. A historical path will be created along the Grenzsteg, where the spatial narrative turns the walkway itself into the most important exhibit.

Excited to bring history and modern architecture together in our winning project for Grenz- und Museumshafen Berlin !

GRENZ- UND MUSEUMSHAFEN BERLIN: Conservation and Overall Project Concep

The intervention at the Grenzhafen Berlin is carried out out of respect for the historical substance – the Grenzhafen and its surroundings – and is understood as a careful placement within the border-near monument ensemble. The historic pier structure itself is to remain untouched in its authenticity, preserved as a historical testimony of a divided Berlin, and complemented by a museum, museum ships, and a marina.

Along the axis of Eichenstraße, the main pavilion of the newly created ensemble is to be constructed, nestled against the Grenzsteg. The roof of the main pavilion will be accessed via two ramps, and with its floating topography and gentle incline, it will softly extend over the Spree River, offering a public plaza with picturesque views over the Spree and the historic buildings of the port.

We’ve won the architecture competition for the new Grenz- und Museumshafen Berlin project!

GRENZ- UND MUSEUMSHAFEN BERLIN: Spaces and Visitor Experience

From the plaza, visitors enter a foyer, from which a broad, representative staircase with wide landings leads down to the pavilion at water level. This staged gradation allows for an immersion into history and creates distance from the city, enabling an undisturbed contemplative space. The proximity to the water and the mirrored ceiling transform the space itself into an exhibition object, where light and reflections are part of the staging. The exhibition thus offers an intimate, sensory experience in which filtered light, muted water sounds, and framed views provide an introspective narrative. A historical path will be created along the Grenzsteg, where the spatial narrative turns the walkway itself into the most important exhibit.

From the main pavilion, floating pontoon structures run parallel to the Grenzsteg to one of the Gedenkpavillons. The historical path embarked upon by visitors offers immediate proximity to the historic pier structure. At the same time, the open sightlines toward the Osthafen (East Harbor) on one side, the ABOAG-Betriebshof (part of the border fortifications) on the other, and the Oberbaumbrücke along the axis of the Grenzstegs preserve and make the historical context tangible. The Grenzpavillon at the end of the pontoon structures will serve as the starting point for the Museumsfähre, which crosses to the other Gedenkpavillon at the western end of the Grenzstegs. Both of these Gedenkpavillons lie at the former locations of two watchtowers and offer smaller exhibitions.

BLUM-Neuinterpretation Blumenpavillon einschl. Verbindungsbauten

LP5 Ausführungsplanung- Stage 4: Technical Design

For the winter months, it is planned to place potted plants in the Vermehrungshaus and Blumenpavillon. The general minimum temperature for the entire building during winter is between 5°C and 10°C. Snow melting heating is provided to handle snowfall.
The construction approach aims to be simple and material-efficient. Since the Vermehrungshaus is used only as an exhibition space during the summer months, the energy planning should aim to make the winter operation as energy-efficient as possible.
