Johann König, Berlin opened in May 2002 at Rosa Luxemburg Platz in Berlin. The 850 ft. groundfloor space was located in the Pölzig building, which also hosts the Kino Babylon. It is close to Alexanderplatz, in the centre of east Berlin and opposite of the Volksbühne.

In april 2006 Johann König, Berlin has moved to its new location, a 5.800 ft. post industrial hall close to Potsdamer Platz, right in the middle of Berlin.
The new gallery is surrounded by Martin Gropius Bau, Neue Nationalgalerie and the gallery building in Zimmerstraße.

The gallery is managed by Kirsa Geiser and Johann König. They have formed a unique program of emerging and mid-career artists. The gallery is not media specific and has exhibited audio works, video, painting, works on paper, photography, performance, installation and sculpture since its opening.

Occasionally historical positions are on show, such as Öyvind Fahlström, William Copley, and Manfred Kuttner.

The artists represented have been participated in major groupshows such as Manifesta and in several biennales in Berlin, Sydney, Moscow, New York and, in the Venice Biennale. Numerous publications and monographs are available on most gallery artists. The gallery is participating in several art fairs, such as The Armory Show, Frieze Art Fair, Art Basel Miami Beach and the first time in 2006 at Art Basel.
