One building, several rooms and a working legacy

Enter Hansa through one active address and a layered studio history, from the 1973 opening of Studio One to the Meistersaal years beside the Wall.

Read in this order, then plan travel between the public locations. Historical references and private properties are not visitor stops. This is a story sequence, not a timed walking itinerary.

These locations are historical references. Exact public map points are not established.

    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 is an active studio. Interior access is available only through advance-booked tours on selected dates; recording work takes priority.
