Completing the transformation
From State Council Building to a completed #1 business school in Germany
Of the many factors that make ESMT Berlin a unique and prized location for education, our campus is among the most special. The building that once housed the East German State Council is a masterpiece of postwar architecture.
For too long, some of the most important areas of the former Staatsratsgebäude have remained hidden away, unseen. We are delighted to say that is about to change.
We are now developing the yet untouched part of the building, Wing A, to complete the vision of a world-class business school.
Completing the modernization of the building will allow us to bring together students, faculty, staff, guests from around the world, and from all walks of life to participate in future efforts to improve business and society.
The history of Germany and Europe is intrinsically connected with this incredible building; we would like to involve as many of our friends and alumni as possible, in this once-in-a-generation restoration project.
Successful launch of the project on May 9, 2023
ESMT Berlin initiated the final phase of the restoration of its campus in the former GDR State Council building. It was announced that the former State Council Chamber on the first floor of the not yet modernized wing has been dedicated today as the President George H.W. Bush Reunification Suite
