What is 1535°?

1535° is a hymn to entrepreneurship & originality—a sustainable, straightforward initiative open to all creative professions. 

This industrial space houses the communal spirit & shared knowledge of entrepreneurs, freelancers & small to medium-sized companies. Here you’ll find diverse & creative minds exchanging, advising & connecting.

1535° is dedicated to the wellbeing of our creative economy. A driver of synergies, job creation, networking, arts & culture, it turns ideas into reality. 

In 2011, the City of Differdange pitched the pioneering concept for 1535°, Luxembourg’s dedicated creative hub. The project emerged out of need: Creators from Luxembourg & the Greater Region needed a space that believed in them & their ambitions.

The city stepped up to help creative entrepreneurs reach their potential & has been contributing its expertise to this important initiative ever since. The dream of 1535° is now a buzzing reality, with nearly 80 companies calling it home. 

The 1535° Creative Hub consists of three buildings totaling 16,000m² located on the site of a former Arcelor Mittal factory in Differdange. During renovations, the City of Differdange set out to design a one-of-a-kind space to nurture the creative economy. 

The hub meets the creative, production & distribution needs of the region’s talents while celebrating Luxembourg’s steel heritage & maintaining the factory’s original identity. The aesthetic of the three buildings — Schräinerei (building A), the Zilleschapp (building B) & the Kesselbetrib (building C) — blends raw industry & modern touches. 

1535° reflects the expectations & needs of each member. Nonmembers can also apply to utilize certain spaces for projects or events, such as audiovisual productions, rehearsals or conferences.

The creative offices & workshop units are available to tenants 24/7.
