Ermelerhaus

Ermelerhaus: marrying in Rococo rooms on Märkisches Ufer

The Ermelerhaus originally stood in Breite Straße since 1567, about 500 meters from its current location. It is named after the tobacco and cloth merchant F. W. Ermeler, who bought it in 1824. In 1893, the building was added to the first Berlin list of monuments, in 1914 it passed to the city, and after 1945, the Council Library moved in.

In the mid-sixties, the house was dismantled stone by stone and rebuilt on Märkisches Ufer, extensively renovated in the nineties. What remained are the Rococo rooms that still distinguish the house from everything else in Berlin-Mitte. Today it belongs to the complex of the art’otel Berlin Mitte, with the Ermelerhaus wing facing Märkisches Ufer. Additionally, its location directly on the Spree means short distances for photos between the ceremony and dinner.
