Welcome
to the Mittlere Berliner Straße Real Estate and Location Community.
Standing still is regression – this truth also applies to Mittlere Berliner Strasse as a shopping street. This is why the property owners resident here have joined forces to form the Real Estate and Location Community. The aim is to further enhance the quality of life in this prime location. The association has existed in Gütersloh since the end of 2012. The private commitment of the homeowners has made it possible for Mittlere Berliner Straße to be launched as the first statutory Real Estate and Location Community in East Westphalia and the third statutory Real Estate and Location Community in North Rhine-Westphalia. Initiators Albrecht Diekötter, Peter Oesterhelweg and Bernd Sperling are delighted about the pioneering role which Gütersloh is playing in this matter throughout OWL (Eastern Westphalia-Lippe region).
This will make Mittlere Berliner Straße an even more attractive calling card for the city, and will help to make the Gütersloh location even more attractive and liveable. Real Estate and Location Community – a model that should set a precedent!
The "Winterlicht" project of the ISG Mittlere Berliner Straße e.V. association was supported with funds from the "Verfügungsfonds" funding program in accordance with Section 14 of the 2008 urban renewal funding guidelines.

Mittlere Berliner Straße
Berliner Straße is the main shopping street of Gütersloh, and was the first street to be paved in 1820. The façades of the buildings constructed in the 19th century still bear witness to the prosperity of the businesspeople at that time. In 1972, Berliner Straße became Gütersloh's first pedestrian zone. The campaigns of the Mittlere Berliner Straße Real Estate and Location Community e. V. make the district even more liveable, which contributes to a significant increase in the attractiveness of the inner city as a whole, of course.

What does the Real Estate and Location Community do?
The goal of real estate and location communities is to increase the liveliness and attractiveness of their neighbourhoods. The Mittlere Berliner Straße Real Estate and Location Community e.V. association has given itself the task of making life in the district even pleasanter.
Real estate and location communities want to increase the liveliness and attractiveness of their neighbourhoods. Since 2008, North Rhine-Westphalia has also had a state law basis for implementing a Real Estate and Location Community. A Real Estate and Location Community is an important instrument which involves all property owners for ensuring that reliable, solidarity-based financing of activities for the promotion and enhancement of the attractiveness of a neighbourhood is available.
The Mittlere Berliner Straße Real Estate and Location Community has given itself the task of making life in the shopping street even pleasanter. The aim is to make Mittlere Berliner Strasse stand out from the other streets, and be regarded as "the" shopping and experience boulevard in Gütersloh. The beautifully designed flower ellipses during Gütersloh Spring, the Mediterranean atmosphere during Michaelmas week, the winter lights during the dark season and the street artists on Advent Saturdays make a significant contribution to this. Money has also been invested in new and modern seating with LED lighting, which invites people to linger and enhances the entire streetscape.
This is intended to attract many customers and visitors to the inner city of Gütersloh.
These and many other campaigns are made possible by the Mittlere Berliner Straße Real Estate and Location Community By the citizens of Gütersloh for the citizens of Gütersloh. The Real Estate and Location Community is supported by the Mittlere Berliner Straße Real Estate and Location Community e. V. association
