Hochzeitshaus Berlin

A house at Spittelmarkt between Leipziger Straße and Fischerinsel

The Hochzeitshaus Berlin is located on Gertraudenstraße in Mitte, where Leipziger Straße leads towards Fischerinsel. It is one of the wide traffic arteries of the historic center, with Spittelmarkt as the nearest reference point; the Spittelmarkt U2 subway station is directly in front of the door, and the Märkisches Museum station on the same line is just one stop further. The address itself is a piece of city history: Gertraudenstraße once led from Spittelbrücke to Gertraudenbrücke and was one of the oldest connections between Friedrichswerder and the Spree Island; after the war destruction, it was expanded into a multi-lane main road. The ‘all under one roof’ concept has existed since 2007, and the company describes itself as family-run for forty years and now in its second generation. Tasks are distributed within the family: Christoph Manhart manages the business, Paulina Manhart is responsible for fashion, and Andreas Manhart for the jewelry section. There is a second location in Cloppenburg, Lower Saxony, which is managed separately.

Bridal fashion, suits, wedding rings, and tailoring at one address

The four areas of Hochzeitshaus Berlin bear their own names and function like independent stores, but are all located at the same address. Bridal fashion is handled by Brauthaus, men’s fashion by its own men’s outfitter, wedding rings by a goldsmith with its own in-house goldsmith, plus the in-house tailoring shop for all alterations. For couples who don’t want to drive across half the city on three afternoons, this is the real advantage: dress, suit, and rings can be dealt with in one appointment, and alterations remain in-house. Those who buy all three items together receive a package with a price advantage. The house does not name specific designers but speaks of exclusive collections for Berlin and Brandenburg; wedding dresses start at around 1,000 euros, with sizes from 34 to 48 available. Evening dresses for bridesmaids and wedding guests are also available, as well as accessories such as veils, shoes, and hair ornaments. Fittings take place in private cabins with space for companions, and alterations are measured and carried out directly in-house.
