The Buchmühle | Event & Business Venue · Showroom · Loft & Design Space · Wellness Area.

An exceptional blend of history and loft architecture – perfect for events and conferences, catering and cafes, presentations, art and design, workshops and business meetings, offices and agencies, co-working spaces, and open to your ideas. Directly from the owner – no real estate agent and no commission! 350 years of history. Reimagined. The Buchmühle is located in a central location in Bergisch Gladbach, directly on the Strunde stream, just a few minutes' walk from the town hall. This listed half-timbered house from the 17th/18th century, together with the brick extension from 1840 and modern glass and loft elements, forms an architecturally appealing building complex. Parts of the timber frame have been dendrochronologically dated to an age of around 350 years – originally, it was a fruit mill that belonged to the Gladbach manor house in the 18th century. After over 33 years as a creative passion project, the owners – architects specializing in historical buildings and timber framing – are now looking to pass the Buchmühle on to new owners. Purchased in 1993 and completely renovated, it served as a showroom for "bauoffice," a collaboration of engineers and craftsmen, from 2012 to 2022. From 2018 to 2022, it was completely modernized and expanded into an exclusive venue with a café, event spaces, and meeting rooms. Rooms with character.

Location:
This detached complex of half-timbered houses is located in the center of Bergisch Gladbach, 200 meters from the town hall square, next to the Laurentius Church, and has a public parking area. To the north of the building, in addition to private gardens, is a newly designed public park with a high recreational value. An open stream with seating and activity areas, a children's playground, a boules court, and an adjacent, historically protected rose garden with a fountain invite visitors to relax. Opposite the Buchmühle (a mill), the adult education center offers its programs, and the adjacent row of shops extends to the main street, which has been developed as a pedestrian zone. On the northwest side, the Buchmühle is connected to Laurentius Street, which was redesigned and expanded in 2025/2026. The increased space for pedestrians, with seating areas and green spaces, and the emphasis on cycling have also made this connection more attractive. To the east of the adult education center is a vacant lot that is planned to be developed with residential and commercial buildings. Plans are in place for a multi-generational building designed for seniors, with a café and library (see the colored location map). The Buchmühle is located 200 meters from Konrad-Adenauer-Platz (City Hall Square). Here, the upper and lower pedestrian zones of the main street converge into a central, large square with a fountain and historic buildings. The City Hall, the Laurentius Church, the Kulturhaus Bergische Löwe, the City Museum Villa Zanders, and buildings from the Gründerzeit era form the backdrop for regular large events such as the fair, trade shows, the city festival, the city run, the Christmas market, and the popular weekly market, which takes place twice a week. A wide variety of shops, banks, cafes, snack bars, and restaurants are located here. The population of Bergisch Gladbach is approximately 114,000 at the end of 2025, making it a steadily growing city. Bergisch Gladbach is located 15 kilometers from Cologne. The journey to Cologne by S-Bahn (suburban train) takes 20 minutes. The expansion of a second track is planned. The bus station is located directly next to the S-Bahn terminal.
