The impressive renovation of the Kossätenhaus

Hanna gGmbH has made a name for itself with the monument-friendly renovation of the Kossätenhaus in Alt-Blankenburg 10. This historic building, which was built around 1793, is one of the oldest rural houses in the Pankow district and an important testimony to Central German architecture. After 30 years of vacancy, the building was acquired by Hanna gGmbH in 2019 and restored with an experienced team of craftsmen from 2020 to 2024. Manuel Schottmüller, the managing director, is honored for his extraordinary commitment to maintain this unique building.

The Ferdinand-von Quast medal has been awarded to people or institutions since 1987 who have made a special contribution to the preservation of monuments in Berlin. This prestigious award bears the name of the first Prussian state conservator, Ferdinand von Quast, who was appointed to office in 1843.
