Internationales Congress Centrum Berlin

Common card · No. 258702

The Internationales Congress Centrum Berlin (ICC Berlin) is a former convention centre in the Westend locality of Berlin, adjacent to the Messe Berlin exhibition grounds. Designed by Ralf Schüler and Ursulina Schüler-Witte and built between 1973 and 1979, the aluminium-clad building is a major example of high-tech architecture. With 80 halls and rooms and capacity for up to 20,000 people, it was one of the largest congress centres in Europe and became a landmark of West Berlin. Regular operations ended in 2014 because the ageing building required extensive renovation. It has since remained closed, with occasional temporary uses. The building was designated a protected monument in 2019. In 2024, Berlin launched a redevelopment process for the ICC. In June 2026, the Project Partnership Quartier ICC received an official recommendation for a proposal to reuse the building for events and the creative industries. The project is still in development.
