Design as an Expression of Quality: Wasserwerk wins the German Design Award 2026.

Behind every first-class product stands a clear vision. Being named a Winner in the Excellent Communications Design category at the German Design Award 2026 marks a significant milestone in the strategic brand evolution of Wasserwerk.

Design meets "Manufactured in Germany"

The rebranding represents a fundamental repositioning: Wasserwerk was deliberately developed into a premium brand that makes its promise of quality visually tangible. The jury particularly highlighted the “fusion of clarity and humanity” - a visual language that builds trust, provides orientation, and reflects technical excellence.

“This award confirms the ambition behind the brand: for premium quality ‘Made in Germany,’ the goal was to create a design that is both technically convincing and radiates trust.” - Magdalena Benek, Head of Marketing & Communications

A success built on shared vision

The strategic foundations for this achievement were created through close collaboration between Jonas Hörnschemeyer, Head of Wasserwerk, Magdalena Benek, and the partner agency THE STUDIOS. The marketing team played a key role in the precise execution across all brand touchpoints - from the website to product catalogs and further communication materials.

Congratulations also go to The Studios on receiving the Gold Award for the Ernst Deutsch Theater Hamburg.
