My company used to work with a German startup that was based in Lübeck, one of the oldest towns in Germany[0].

They were in Old Town, which is on an island.

The building they originally occupied was over a thousand years old. They then modernized to one that was only eight hundred or so years old, then, eventually, they moved to the mainland, into new construction.

Sort of gives new meaning to “reuse.”
