Dortmund Harbor, Europe’s largest inland port, is undergoing an exciting transformation. The development of Speicherstraße is not only reshaping the area into a business and leisure hub but also enhancing its ecological value.

The team at Gerber Architekten has contributed to the sustainable transformation of the southern Speicherstraße with two key projects:
Hafenforum – a vibrant center with spaces for start-ups, co-working, and gastronomy.
Kontorhaus 11 – a combination of modern office spaces and a market hall.

For this contribution to urban development, the “Southern Speicherstraße” project has been nominated for the German Urban Development Award 2025. The award ceremony will take place on July 25, 2025, in Berlin.
