Marburg Locomotive Shed

What Marburg Locomotive Shed does

Marburg Locomotive Shed (marketed as LOKSCHUPPEN MARBURG) is a privately held, multi-use lifestyle campus in Marburg, Germany, operated by Schneider K&G Holding GmbH. The company was founded in 2017 by Gunter Schneider after winning a competitive tender from GeWoBau (the municipal housing association) to redevelop the city's derelict 1830 Bahnbetriebswerk locomotive shed and adjacent workshop building. Following a 7+ year, multi-million-euro revitalization, the two historic industrial monuments now house four integrated business lines: the 82-room NOXX Hotel (a design hotel with smart building technology, 55 EE energy standard, and a German Design Award 2026), the LUMEOS eventspace (capacity up to 1,500 persons for concerts, corporate events, and weddings), the INNOCOU Hub coworking space (day passes, flex desks, dedicated desks, office cubes, and meeting rooms), and three food and beverage outlets (PASSIOPETUA Restaurant, INNOCOU Coffee Bar, and the NOXX Rooftop Bar). Integrated supporting assets include a 132 m² gym, four NOXX meeting rooms, five coworking meeting rooms and five office cubes, and over 100 parking spaces with EV charging. GTM is direct-to-consumer plus community-led, exercised through a branded event calendar (LOK After-Work, LOK Sunset, LOK White Summer, LOK Sessions XXL), an in-house e-commerce voucher and ticketing platform (e-guma), a self-serve coworking member portal, and direct hotel booking via noxx-hotel.com. The company is entirely founder-owned with no disclosed external funding or institutional investors.

Partnerships

Two partnerships are on record, tiered core and minor.

• Architekt Bernward PaulickcoreStrategic or Co-development PartnerBernward Paulick served as the lead architect in collaboration with Gunter Schneider to develop the design concept for the Lokschuppen and workshop building transformation. Paulick and Schneider co-created the architectural vision combining historic industrial character with modern additions, separated by a glass fissure. This is a foundational co-development partnership responsible for the entire physical identity of the venue.
• GeWoBau (Gemeinnützige Wohnungsbaugesellschaft der Stadt Marburg)minorOthersGeWoBau, the municipal housing association of the City of Marburg, originally owned the former Bahnbetriebswerk Marburg property. In 2017, GeWoBau put the property up for privatization via a tender process in which Gunter Schneider's team won the competitive bidding with their concept for transforming the site into a multi-use lifestyle destination.
