Haus Bitz stands in Bachem, a district of Frechen, and its history reaches back to the fifteenth century. The building remains protected as a historic monument today. Its changing roles include a noble residence, a snuff tobacco factory, and the office of the Belgian Consul General. Each former use adds another layer to Haus Bitz.

After a period of vacancy, renovation brought the complex back into use while preserving its historic character. The complex includes the main house and several adjoining historic buildings. The renovated site also contains the former staff house, stables, and a gallery, creating a connected historic ensemble. Modern offices now occupy the historic rooms of Haus Bitz.

The company deinschrank.de uses the building as its administrative base for custom-made furniture. Its work links unusual historic spaces with contemporary furniture design. The building’s irregular layout suits a company that develops individual furniture through digital planning and automated production. Haus Bitz therefore connects present-day work with local history.

Its past as a residence, factory, and diplomatic office reflects the changing life of Frechen. The site keeps that layered story visible today.
