The FRITZ Tower at Lehrter Straße 24B is the ochre-tiled residential tower next to Berlin Hauptbahnhof. Designed by Sauerbruch Hutton and completed in 2020, it was built for furnished living on time. One of its apartments is rented directly by its owner, for stays of four months and longer.
A tower built for furnished living
The FRITZ Tower rises to 18 storeys on the square side, with an eight-storey wing behind it. Most of its units are compact furnished apartments, which is why the building is organised around the needs of people who arrive with a suitcase: a front desk staffed during business hours, a fitness studio, a shared rooftop and a café on the ground floor.
The facade is the building's signature. Three-dimensional ceramic fins in metallic ochre and soft white, made by Agrob Buchtal, are laid in an irregular pattern, so the tower changes colour with the light over the day.
The apartment in the FRITZ Tower
The apartment has two rooms on 48 m²: a bright living and dining room with a fully equipped kitchen, a separate bedroom with a large wardrobe, and a bathroom with a walk-in shower. It is furnished for everyday life, not for a weekend: a real desk, a proper kitchen, space to unpack.
Rent is all-inclusive, including heating, electricity, water and internet. You can register your address (Anmeldung) here, and you receive the landlord confirmation you need for the Bürgeramt.

Why rent directly instead of through a platform
Several apartments in the FRITZ Tower are listed on rental platforms. This one is offered by its owner, Markus. You talk to the person who signs the contract and hands over the keys, you get a standard German fixed-term rental contract, and there is no platform fee on top of the rent.
