Getting to know Altstadt

Office cleaning in Altstadt: Hamburg’s historic heart and B2B hub

Hamburg-Altstadt is the historic and economic heart of the Hanseatic city. Between Rathausmarkt, the Alsterfleet, and the Zollkanal, a long merchant tradition meets the modern workplace. In the Kontorhausviertel — a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2015 — shipping companies, insurers, law firms, and trade associations work in world-famous landmarks such as the Chilehaus, the Sprinkenhof, and the Meßberghof.

If your office is in Altstadt, you need a cleaning partner who knows how to handle historic buildings: clinker brick floors, terrazzo, brass hardware, and vintage paternoster elevators all need care suited to their materials, with no harsh chemicals. At the same time, the busy city center calls for fixed cleaning times before 8 a.m. or after 6 p.m.

Ruiz Büroreinigung Hamburg already cleans the offices of Delphi Communications in Hamburg’s city center, as well as those of well-known clients such as Basko Healthcare on neighboring Neuer Wall. Our team of more than 20 permanent cleaners works with the HACCP-compliant four-color system, is bound to confidentiality by an NDA, and uses eco-friendly Dr. Schnell cleaning concentrates (EU Ecolabel). Learn more on our About us page.

Special requirements

Why offices in Altstadt need a different approach

Landmark-protected historic office buildings, valuable terrazzo floors, and a steady stream of visitors: we tailor our cleaning equipment, care products, and working hours to all three.

Historic preservation & terrazzo

Harsh all-purpose cleaners cause irreparable damage to historic stone and clinker brick floors.

  • pH-neutral specialty cleaners for terrazzo and granite
  • Gentle care for landmark-protected clinker brick floors
  • Brass and bronze fittings polished with care
  • EU Ecolabel cleaning products from Dr. Schnell

Hardwood parquet & large floor areas

On the spacious floors of historic office buildings, structured zone plans keep cleaning consistently thorough.

  • Barely damp mopping, never with standing water
  • Care that protects the value of sealed floorboards
  • Professional Numatic brush vacuums for carpeting
  • Dust-free care for baseboards and cable raceways

Glass surfaces & conference rooms

Glass-walled meeting rooms in historic office buildings show every fingerprint — we keep them presentable.

  • Glass doors and high-touch areas cleaned every visit
  • Streak-free glass partitions and meeting pods
  • Professional reverse-osmosis purified-water system without chemical cleaning agents
  • Binding fixed prices for glass cleaning after the free site visit

Discretion, NDA & files left untouched

Banks, law firms, and insurers handle highly sensitive data. Our teams are vetted.

  • Strict confidentiality for client and business files
  • Police clearance certificate (Führungszeugnis) for every cleaner
  • In-house NDA as standard, plus your own NDA on request
  • Documented log for keys and access fobs

Early & late shifts that fit the city’s rhythm

During the day, you have client appointments and meetings — our team cleans outside your core business hours.

  • Early mornings from 6 a.m. or evenings after hours
  • Discreet weekend cleaning on request
  • Secure safekeeping of alarm codes and access chips

100% our own permanent staff

Every week, the same well-coordinated team works in your office — a team that knows it inside out.

  • More than 20 permanent employees, no subcontractors
  • Hardly any staff turnover — only one employee has left since 2019
  • Dedicated site manager as your personal point of contact
  • Vacation cover usually comes from the same team

Pricing & calculation

A fixed monthly rate for Altstadt offices — transparently calculated

For office cleaning in Hamburg-Altstadt, you pay a fixed monthly rate based on square meters and cleaning frequency — 1, 2, 3, or 5 times a week. Up to 150 m², the base price starts at €361.96 net; above that, the rate rises gradually with floor area. No hourly billing, no hidden extras.

The rate covers your dedicated team’s social security contributions and their pay, which is above the collectively agreed wage (Tariflohn). It also includes Dr. Schnell cleaning products, professional Numatic and Unger equipment, travel, cover for vacation or sick leave — usually from the same team — and business liability insurance up to €5 million. Our calculation is based on at least €33 net per hour: fair pay and hardly any staff turnover keep quality in your offices consistent over the long term.

Security & trust

For law firms, insurers & trading companies: discretion in Altstadt

Anyone who cleans your office, whether in a historic office building or a modern commercial one, has access to files, contracts, and sensitive business data. That’s why Ruiz Büroreinigung Hamburg works only with its own permanent cleaners, all of whom hold a police clearance certificate. Every employee signs an in-house confidentiality agreement (NDA), and on request they’ll sign your own agreement as well.

We accept keys, access fobs, and alarm codes only against a documented, signed handover record. Files and client documents are never touched. You can exclude sensitive areas such as server rooms or file archives, or have them cleaned only by arrangement.

Cancel monthly — maximum flexibility for businesses in the city center. We clean offices from 120 to 3,000 m², and you can adjust frequency and floor area at the start of any month. For spaces over 1,000 m², we prepare a custom, non-binding quote for a fixed monthly rate within 24 hours.

PricingHow much does office cleaning in Hamburg-Altstadt cost per month?

You pay a fixed monthly rate based on office size and cleaning frequency. For up to 150 m² cleaned once a week, it starts at €361.96 net per month. The rate includes pay above the collectively agreed wage for your dedicated team, social security contributions, biodegradable Dr. Schnell products, travel, and business liability insurance (€5 million); 19% VAT is added on top. See the pricing examples on this page for 150 m², 300 m², and 500 m². In the live chat, Eliza calculates your exact, non-binding price in 30 seconds.

AltstadtCan you properly clean landmark-protected floors and clinker brick?

Yes. We have experience with the floors of historic office buildings: we treat clinker brick and terrazzo with pH-neutral specialty cleaners, and hardwood floorboards with a barely damp mop and no standing water. We never use harsh abrasives or acidic all-purpose cleaners. For weathered or heavily worn floors, we offer machine deep cleaning at a binding fixed price after the free site visit.

SecurityDo you use subcontractors or temp agency workers?

No. Without exception, our cleaning staff are 100% our own permanent employees, working under the framework collective agreement for the building-cleaning trade — more than 20 people from 11 countries. Every cleaner holds a police clearance certificate and signs an in-house confidentiality agreement (NDA). Since our founding in 2019, exactly one cleaner has left our team — so the same team, with a dedicated site manager, usually cleans your office every week.

How it worksDo you also clean outside office hours?

Yes. For most of our clients in the city center, we clean outside core business hours: early in the morning from 6 a.m., in the evening once your team has left for the day, or on Saturdays. That way, your client appointments and meetings go ahead completely undisturbed. We accept keys, access fobs, and alarm codes only against a detailed, signed handover record.

AltstadtDo you already clean offices in Hamburg’s city center?

Yes. In Hamburg’s city center, for example, we clean the offices of Delphi Communications and Basko Healthcare on neighboring Neuer Wall. The engineers at KREBS+KIEFER and the IT consultancy Contiva in nearby HafenCity are also clients of ours.

ContractIs there a minimum contract term?

No. Every cleaning contract with Ruiz can genuinely be canceled monthly — no 12- or 24-month lock-ins. You decide month by month, and you can adjust floor area and cleaning frequency at the start of any month.
