Hansa’s official history dates Studio One to 1973 and the Köthener Straße complex to 1975. At Studio Two, Bowie wrote “Heroes” and recorded the Berlin Trilogy with Iggy Pop; the same official history names the wider roster without pretending every artist used the same room.

Hansa Studios belongs to the recording geography around Iggy Pop and Bowie. The surviving Meistersaal makes the production environment tangible without pretending that a present-day room photograph is a session image.
