Cornelsen Verlag's Berlin HQ Gets a Modern Makeover for Its 80th Anniversary

Cornelsen Verlag has started a major renovation of its Berlin-Wilmersdorf headquarters to celebrate its 80th anniversary. The project, named Cornelsen New Space, will transform the building on Mecklenburgische Straße into a modern workspace by February 2027. Construction firm GOLDBECK is leading the redesign as part of a broader strategy to blend tradition with contemporary work environments.

The L-shaped building will shift from a traditional layout of individual offices and meeting rooms to an open, flexible workspace. The redesign aims to support both focused work and informal collaboration, reflecting modern knowledge-work principles. GOLDBECK, serving as the general contractor, is managing all aspects—planning, execution, and furnishing—while also upgrading fire safety and building technology to meet current standards.

The publisher views the renovation as a key investment in its corporate culture. By adapting the Wilmersdorf location, Cornelsen hopes to foster better teamwork and accommodate evolving work methods. GOLDBECK has framed the project as a model for repurposing existing properties, showing how heritage and innovation can work together.

Work is expected to finish in early 2027, with the new space designed to set fresh standards in architecture and workplace organization.

The completed Cornelsen New Space will offer a more dynamic and adaptable environment for employees. Upgrades to safety systems and technology will ensure the building meets modern requirements. The project underscores Cornelsen's commitment to updating its infrastructure while preserving its long-standing presence in Berlin.
