Welcome to the most charming host in town.
Before GOLDBECK developed the “Heins” brand, the H1 was due for revitalization. The high-rise, a landmark of the Bielefeld skyline, has been owned by GOLDBECK since 2018. Our Bielefeld unit “Bauen im Bestand” revitalized the building, originally completed in 1974. It has 17 floors, stands 76 metres tall – and is Bielefeld’s first and only high-rise: hence H1.
The first milestone
Once the extensive revitalization was complete, colleagues from GOLDBECK Services moved into three floors in August 2023. That is only the first step, though – the building is being filled with even more life. Read on to find out what the building concept looks like and what GOLDBECK employees can look forward to:
The HEINS building concept
So why Heins?
Buildings and people – at first glance as different as day and night. But look again, and they have quite a bit in common:
- Both can tell stories.
- The façade can be deceiving, and it pays to look inside.
- They move with the times, yet stay who they always were.
The H1, too, already has an eventful history behind it and, after its revitalization, brings out the very best. A real personality – namely Heins.
Tell us a bit about yourself, dear Heins.
I’m Heins, the good old soul of the house.
Heins is probably the most charming host in the whole city. Whether you come to work or to eat – at Heins you’ll feel at home wherever you are.
Dining and working under one roof? That only happens at home, or at your mum’s at a push – and from now on at Heins too.
Dining here comes with responsibility and real pleasure. At Heins speist only good things make it to the table – mostly regional and seasonal.
Heins has a soft spot for tech. So at Heins you’ll find the very latest – digital and innovative. All to make your working day as effortless as possible.
There is no second Heins – unconventional and headstrong is what he is. The design is one of a kind, full of love for detail, and it has to be experienced.
Open to everyone! Slightly old-school or wonderfully offbeat, young or old – everyone is welcome at Heins.
Charming regards,
your Heins
And why Heins, and not Herbert?
Heins is the Nordic form of Heinz and means something like “ruler of the home”. Its roots lie in Old High German, derived from “heima” for “the home”.
To us, Heins is the master of the house. He is like the Phantom of the Opera, like Banksy on the streets, or Lord Voldemort in Harry Potter. Everybody knows him, but nobody sees him.
