SUBMISSION WIN FOR “RENOVATION OF THE MÄRKISCHES MUSEUM”

At 9 a.m. on the mor­ning of Febru­ary 20, 2024, a cry of joy echoed through the pre­mi­ses in Ber­lin when the result of the ten­der for the “Refur­bish­ment Mär­ki­sches Museum” pro­ject was announ­ced. AR Hoch­bau in Ber­lin was named the win­ning bidder out of a total of 3 bids sub­mit­ted. We recei­ved the con­tract award let­ter by email shortly before the bin­ding dead­line on April 5, 2024. The joy is unres­trai­ned. After all, the past few months have been sur­roun­ded by tough and dif­fi­cult nego­tia­ti­ons and sub­mis­si­ons in the middle and back ranks.

The pro­ject invol­ves the moder­niza­tion and refur­bish­ment of the buil­ding fabric of the Mär­ki­sches Museum in Ber­lin-Mitte. The pro­perty is loca­ted at Am Köll­ni­schen Park 5, 10179 Ber­lin, south of the River Spree and has an area of around 4,000 m². The buil­ding is divi­ded into 5 dif­fe­rent indi­vi­dual struc­tures, which are com­ple­tely dif­fe­rent in height, width and design. It was desi­gned by the archi­tect Lud­wig Hoff­mann as one of the first buil­dings in the world to serve as a city museum. The museum was ope­ned in 1908.

The Mär­ki­sches Museum has been under­go­ing a com­plete over­haul since 2023. The reope­ning of a new museum and crea­tive quar­ter at Köll­ni­scher Park is plan­ned for 2028. The neigh­bor­ing Mari­ne­haus is also loca­ted here.
