Reinickendorf

General information and location advantages

Reinickendorf, a business hub in northwest Berlin, combines industrial tradition with innovative development. It is one of Berlin’s most traditional industrial locations. With a population of approximately 272,000, the district offers a strong economic environment for businesses across a wide range of industries – from global industrial conglomerates to high-performing small and medium-sized enterprises and skilled trades. Companies such as Borsig, Bosch, GERB, and Everllence (formerly MAN) are key players in the region, as are numerous innovative small and medium-sized businesses.

Reinickendorf offers a wide variety of commercial spaces, ranging from established industrial sites to new development areas. Attractive spaces for technology-focused companies are emerging, particularly in the area surrounding Berlin TXL – The Urban Tech Republic. At the same time, established commercial areas such as those along Holzhauser Straße, at Eichborndamm or in Borsigwalde offer development potential through modernization, densification and the repurposing of existing sites. As a result, the district offers both short-term and long-term opportunities for companies in a wide range of industries to establish themselves there.

Location advantages

• more than 9,500 local businesses
• a strong focus on the manufacturing sector
• annual revenue of approximately 3.16 billion euros
• diverse range of industries, from manufacturing to skilled trades

The excellent transportation links provide quick access to downtown Berlin and the surrounding areas of Brandenburg – a clear advantage for manufacturing, logistics, and services.
Reinickendorf has been recognized by the Berlin Chamber of Commerce and Industry as a “business-friendly district.”
