In summer 2026, the Estrel Berlin, Europe’s largest hotel, entertainment and congress complex, will celebrate a new addition: the Estrel Tower – a remarkable destination for meetings, events, celebrations, creativity, and collaboration. With the completion of the shell construction and erection of the roof truss, Berlin’s first skyscraper will hit its next milestone with a topping-out ceremony on 3^rd March 2025.

Three decades ago, a project began in Berlin-Neukölln that ushered in a new era for the capital’s hotel and event sector: the Estrel. In 1993, ground was broken on the site that, today, is home to a globally-renowned hotel and congress center – the largest of its kind in Europe. The way to this unique success story was paved by the pioneering spirit of Ekkehard Streletzki, founder and visionary behind the Estrel.

We invite you to read more about our latest projects and take a look at some of the top events of the past few months in the current issue of the ECC News.

Plans for Berlin’s brand-new landmark, the Estrel tower, were presented to the public by contractors Ekkehard and Maxim Streletzki, alongside architects Regine Leibinger and Frank Barkow.
