The boutique office concept, the spacious and elegant interior design and the state-of-the-art digital infrastructure all serve the same objective: to maximise flexibility and unlock all potential while working.
The space is important, but the people inside it are even more important. The WALZSTAHLHAUS offers the perfect environment for collaboration and concentration, for conferences and creative workshops, for chit-chat and relaxation. It represents a new and holistic iteration of the open space philosophy.
Düsseldorf’s growing attractiveness and escalating real estate prices have made the city’s luxury high street and the adjacent banking district more sought-after than ever before.
The work units can be used as office, workshop or conference space. The open-plan look of the modern and flexible office space is complemented by a high-end interior design concept.
The flexible-use shared space on the ground floor includes open-plan reception areas, meeting points, a coffee corner and a communal kitchen.
The health zone in the south rental unit also embraces the hours before and after work. A separate sports zone will be created on the ground floor as a rental unit.

The Walzstahlhaus was originally called the “Erweiterungsbau des Stahlhofs. It was built according to plans by architects Karl Wach and Heinrich Rosskotten on behalf of the association of German rolled steel entrepreneurs, Stahlwerksverband AG, and completed in 1940.
The building was constructed with a pioneering steel skeleton in the monumental classicism style of the late 1930s. It is one of the few remaining examples of large-scale architecture from this period in Düsseldorf.
The building played an instrumental role in Germany’s post-war history when the British occupation authorities moved in to orchestrate peace.
It is the place where the federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia was officially created on 23 August 1946.
The Walzstahlhaus has always been a place of change and contradictions – yet it has never lost its distinctive architectural identity.
At the end of the 1950s, the Walzstahlhaus was refurbished for use by the iron and steel industry. In the decades that followed, it was modernised and repurposed many more times.
In 1998, the building was leased to the Handelsblatt Group as a publishing house.
SeitSince 2010, when the AOK medical insurance provider became its tenant, the building has been dedicated to health.
A new future that brings people and innovative concepts together is now dawning for the Walzstahlhaus.
