Lichtenberg

At first sight the industrial area „Herzberge“ in Lichtenberg seems to be rough, dusty, ruined and desolate. Even though It is only twenty minutes away from the city center, you will feel a little bit as if you have gone astray. Between recycling yard, scrap and car dealers are today small niches, where you can find galleries and artist´s studios. Previously the area was a large industrial area, with a variety of state-owned enterprises of the former GDR. Today these abandoned factories and buildings get new usage concepts by artists, designers and musicians. But you can still find hints to the past history at nearly each of the places. Because many things are still improvised and imperfect it is a perfect contrast to the crowded places of the city.

During the week you can smell the solvents of oil colours, hear the noise of a saw and see your neighbor carrying a canvas – art is created. The rooms of HB55 in which today art is produced was formerly a margarine factory. The HB55 is a yellow brick factory with several backyards, here you can still feel the industrial past – huge crude warehouses, loading ramps and rails have remained. Today 200 rooms are used by artists from various fields such as sculpture, design, painting, photography, fashion and many more. The location can be visited and explored on one of the events, such as Gallery Weekend or exhibitions in the warehouse.
