Development of a site

Barbara and Axel Haubrok acquired an industrial site in Berlin-Lichtenberg , which served as the SED Central Committee's fleet of vehicles until the fall of the Berlin Wall . They developed it into a project location where they organized internationally acclaimed exhibitions several times a year. The historical buildings have been restored in accordance with listed buildings and some have been rented out to small businesses or artists on favorable terms. Since 2017, a modern new building, planned by the architect Arno Brandlhuber, should complement the ensemble on the site in Herzbergstrasse . However, the construction was not approved. While on over 90 percent of the site manufacturing companies for motor vehicles. - and the creative sector, works from the Haubrok Collection, but also with and by other artists, were exhibited in the remaining historical rooms.

Differences between the art concern and the Berlin commercial building law

The Lichtenberg district office, responsible for the site, criticizes the fact that art and trade are mixed here. The laws provide for a separation of interests for such a situation, above all because there are also artists working in small studios in the neighborhood, who feel they have been ousted by the exhibitions and the associated streams of visitors. So it came about that at the beginning it was verbally agreed to accept only a limited number of exhibitions per year. Because the Haubroks do not see their concern art for everyone (without entrance fees) sufficiently appreciated, there have already been several arguments. As a result of the last discussions in spring / summer 2018, the continuation of exhibition activities in the driver's service rooms was completely prohibited.
