Urban retreat in the Bottle Tower: Monumental living on Stralau

The striking bottle tower of the former Engelhardt Brewery is an imposing industrial monument and an exceptional residential retreat on the Stralau peninsula. Built in 1929 by Bruno Buch using an innovative reinforced-concrete skeleton construction, the building was extensively and faithfully restored in 2009. Its expressive tower silhouette gives the property a distinctive presence in Berlin’s architectural landscape. Where beer was once stored, historic fabric now combines with generous window fronts and stylish balconies to create the highest standards of urban living—an exclusive collector’s piece with industrial charm.

This quality of living is complemented by one of Berlin’s most sought-after locations: surrounded by the River Spree and Rummelsburg Lake, the Stralau peninsula in Friedrichshain combines maritime tranquillity with immediate proximity to the city centre. A waterfront path stretching more than five kilometres and Treptower Park opposite provide expansive recreational spaces right on the doorstep. Alongside first-class organic markets, schools and the lively Simon-Dach neighbourhood nearby, this creates a perfect microclimate for sophisticated lifestyles. Thanks to the Berlin-Ostkreuz transport hub just 400 metres away, the entire metropolis is excellently connected. An ideal retreat for discerning individualists who appreciate the rare privilege of peaceful waterfront living in the heart of the capital.
