KörberHaus – Aurubis Nordic Copper
Nordic Copper Stories
“Clear copper structure with Nordic Copper”
A new municipal cultural center of the Körberstiftung in the heart of Hamburg-Bergedorf, located directly on the water, is characterized by its carefully detailed façade with “Nordic Copper” from Aurubis.

The house combines a wide range of educational, leisure and cultural offers and has the goal of providing an appealing contact point for public and community life in Bergedorf. Among other things, the building houses a senior citizens’ club, a district library, a café and a theatre. After a successful architectural competition by the architectural firm MGF Architekten, the three-storey municipal centre was opened at the beginning of 2023.

The new building has an attractive island location and thus sets itself apart from the surrounding building structure. The building itself is placed slightly asymmetrically on the plot and the platform is bordered by the water on three sides. On the three open sides there are rooms with a wide range of possible uses. A light-flooded atrium links the different building components and serves as a central meeting place. The building is very transparent inside and out, so the atmosphere changes with the play of light of the day. This is intended to underline the multifunctionality and the building as a meeting place.
