Campus ringberlin
– opening 2027
Coming soon
On the historic Schindler property in Mariendorf, a 100,000 sqm site is being transformed into a campus for deep tech and hardtech companies at every stage of growth. At its heart: 17,000 sqm of makerspace across 12 high-end labs. Spaces from 25 sqm to 1,500 sqm. Below-market rents made possible by €36M in Berlin Senate GRW funding.
A listed industrial hall, sensitively renovated. And a campus built to last – green, circular, and designed for more than 5,000 people a day.

Four things worth knowing
ringberlin is real, funded, and on a timeline. Here is what sets it apart from everything else being built in Berlin right now.
What Makes ringberlin Different
17,000 sqm of makerspace.
Twelve high-end labs spanning the full spectrum of deep tech development — from clean rooms and wet labs to heavy fabrication and testing grounds. The infrastructure to support companies at every stage, under one roof.
To be the largest independent makerspace in Europe.
Below-market rents. By design.
The investment into the founders centre exceeds €60 million. MotionLab.Berlin has already secured €36 million from the Berlin Senate through GRW regional development funds—passing the savings directly to you through subsidized rents.
No application. No equity. Funded by the Senate to enable serious companies to stay in Berlin.
A sensitively renovated listed industrial hall.
The Schindler property is not a generic business park. It is a piece of Berlin's industrial history, being brought back to life with the same care it deserves. The character of the building is part of what makes the campus what it will be.
Mariendorf, Berlin. A neighbourhood meeting point as much as a campus.
Green, circular, built for the long term.
CO2-neutral campus vision. Biodiversity rooftops. Photovoltaics. Shared mobility access for more than 5,000 daily users. ringberlin is designed to be a place people want to spend time in — not just work in.
A parklike campus that becomes part of the neighbourhood.
