The former Brenninkmeyer department store , also known as the “(old) department store on Oranienplatz”, is located at Oranienplatz 17 and Oranienstrasse 40-41 in the Berlin district of Kreuzberg in the Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg district . The office building has no official name. The name “Kaufhaus Brenninkmeyer” is derived from the longstanding use and ownership by Allgemeine Textil-Fabrikations und Handels AG Clemens & August Brenninkmeyer (Dutch: Brenninkmeijer), later C&A for short .

The five-storey building was erected in 1913 by the architects Cremer & Wolffenstein in the historic Luisenstadt . The client was the merchant and city councilor Leopold Jacobi (1847–1917). The commercial building is registered as a monument in the list of cultural monuments in Berlin-Kreuzberg and is now used as the Hotel Orania Berlin after a long vacancy .

Users

The first tenants were the Allgemeine Elektrizitätsgesellschaft (AEG) and the “Cabarett-Café Oranien-Palast”, which promised “first-class concerts every day”. In the 1920s, the Central Association of Employees and the "Berliner Privat Telefon Gesellschaft", an offshoot of the Deutsche Privat Telefonesellschaft , were tenants. From 1925, the hotel "Ahlbecker Hof" and the "Allgemeine Textil-Fabrikations und Handels AG Clemens & August Brenninkmeyer", to which the building belonged after 1936, were located here. C&A moved out in 1956 and the Cunda clothing factory used the house. The Kreuzberg family company Möbel Pögel (Erich Pögel, business owner Martha Pögel), which had sold its property at Oranienstrasse 159 to the Communist League of West Germany , took it over in 1976. Clubs and a plus grocery discounter followed .

The Munich lawyer Dietrich von Boetticher from "KanAm Grundinvest", who also owns the former Maaßen textile department store on the other side of Oranienplatz , acquired the commercial building on April 16, 2008. He initially invested in maintaining the portfolio and made it possible during the vacancy phase cultural interim uses . The Berlin Biennale , the Weissensee School of Art and the Ostkreuz Picture Agency discovered the “morbid charm” of the commercial space for art exhibitions. As part of the “Art needs space” project, the “AV Tour” advertising agency brokered poster spaces on the building for up-and-coming artists. There is an "Altes Kaufhaus Veranstaltungs GmbH".

Since 2013 there has been a building permit for the conversion or reuse of the building as a hotel and restaurant. The Hotel Orania opened in August 2017 .
