The time has come! On September 30, 2024, the big renovation of the roof of the Pankow town hall starts! Here in the Breite Str. 24a-26, 13187 Berlin, the ravages of time are knocked away, and the historically valuable building gets a new shine. The comprehensive work is essential because the damage to the recent years has no longer been remedied by simple repairs.

Dizziness of around 1,380,000 euros are at stake! The measures are not only necessary to stabilize the roof again. They also protect the citizens from falling bricks and unwanted accidents. Safety networks have been appropriate since October 2022, but now it is getting serious! A street -side scaffold is pulled up directly from the clock tower to the new Schönholzer Straße, while a framework is created on the courtyard side above the flat roof. Work is done here with the latest technology and great effort.

a clear plan for monument protection

Under the strict templates of monument protection, each individual construction measure is precisely coordinated. The district is behind the goal of not only securing this important monument, but also preserving its impressive history. District City Councilor Jörn Pasternack explains: "The renovation of the Pankow town hall is not only a mandatory measure for danger defense, but also a contribution to the preservation of this listed building." Here it is acted with high pressure and responsibility to appreciate tradition and guarantee the security of the citizens.

In addition, a special focus is on species protection! The local bird species, including tower falcons and wall sailors, are under protection. A graduate biologist of the NABU will accompany the construction site and make sure that the flying neighbors are not disturbed during the work. This perfect combination of monument protection and nature conservation is a real stroke of luck!

an exciting schedule with uncertain weather

And now comes the best: the completion is planned by the end of May 2025! However, there is a catch: the weather could thwart the ambitious plans. Rain, snow or storm can mess up the processes so that time delays could be imminent. But one thing is certain: With this monument -friendly renovation, the historical character of the Pankow town hall remains and ensures the safety of people.
