Space Contact

What Space Contact does

raumkontakt GmbH is an owner-managed integrated communications agency headquartered in Karlsruhe, Germany, founded in 2000 by architects Klaus Kirchner and the late Alexander von Wedel. The firm operates with a multidisciplinary team of approximately 21 staff spanning communication and product design, architecture, web development, photography, and humanities, organized around four service pillars: ID (brand strategy and identity), 2D (classical print and corporate communications), @D (digital media, web, AR, film and animation), and 3D (spatial, trade-show, and event design). Its client base spans German enterprises, municipal and regional institutions, cultural organizations, and selected international projects, with a visible concentration of Karlsruhe-area public-sector engagements alongside enterprise customers such as Hoepfner, VORTEX, KVVH, ARTE Deutschland, Salamander, Progroup, and the Dirk Nowitzki Foundation.

The agency's go-to-market is sales-led and project-based, with no public pricing: engagements are initiated through direct pitches, referrals, and ongoing client relationships, and the agency frequently serves as lead agency from brand strategy through implementation. Underlying production capability is in-house across concept, design, and digital development, including HTML/CSS/JavaScript/PHP, AR applications, and 3D animation pipelines, with film production subcontracted to partners such as NACONA Filmproduktion. Marketing is driven primarily by a curated web portfolio, LinkedIn and Instagram presence, and consistent recognition in high-prestige international design competitions (Red Dot, German Design Award, iF Design Award, ICMA, German Brand Award, C2A), which together function as the firm's principal demand-generation channel.

Following co-founder Alexander von Wedel's passing in 2025, Klaus Kirchner continues as sole managing director. The company remains privately held with no external funding, no subsidiaries, and no disclosed revenue, and in 2025-2026 has been executing high-visibility mandates including the World Games 2029 corporate design, the Expo Real 2025 booth for TechnologieRegion Karlsruhe, and ongoing campaigns for the City of Karlsruhe and Heimstiftung Karlsruhe.
