The JFE “Anna Landsberger” Youth Centre in Berlin-Marzahn is undergoing a comprehensive renovation to restore and modernise one of the district’s most distinctive civic buildings. Originally completed between 1998 and 2000, the three-storey concrete structure (composed of a basement, ground floor and first floor) is defined by its curved geometry, expressive fair-faced concrete, and extensive steel-and-glass façades. Conceived as an open, transparent and inviting meeting place, the centre serves as a social, cultural and educational hub for young people, offering flexible spaces for sports, workshops, performances and community gatherings. Over time, age-related deterioration and moisture ingress have caused significant damage to the concrete fabric and technical installations, prompting a new phase of architectural renewal that combines conservation, repair and reactivation.

The refurbishment project, commissioned by the District Office of Marzahn-Hellersdorf of Berlin, includes full architectural services under HOAI §34 for building design, alongside specialist consultancy in structure, building services, fire safety, and building physics. The works encompass the repair of exposed concrete surfaces affected by carbonation and spalling, replacement of building services, renewal of the green roof and roof drainage, and the installation of a new heat pump system to replace the gas-based heating plant. Beyond technical restoration, the project aims to re-establish the youth centre’s architectural clarity and civic generosity – ensuring that the Anna Landsberger once again operates as a vibrant, energy-efficient and inclusive place for learning, creativity and community exchange.
