Germany’s most successful esports organization MOUZ will open Europe’s most modern esports performance and event center in early summer 2024. With 1,400 square meters spread over three floors, the new MOUZ headquarters sets a benchmark in professional gaming. Strategically located in the center of Hamburg (Germany), the state-of-the-art facility offers the ideal conditions for team development and the support of young talents.

MOUZ NXT, the organization’s junior Counter-Strike team, is already a prime example of talent development. The new headquarters will now create even more professional structures to further strengthen MOUZ position as one of the world’s leading esports organizations.

The location not far from Hamburg’s main railway station was chosen deliberately, explains Stefan Wendt, CEO of MOUZ: “The excellent connections to the train station and airport and the location in the heart of Hamburg were basic requirements for us when choosing the location. We want to transform Hamburg into an esports stronghold and inspire both national and international esports talents for MOUZ.” The new MOUZ headquarters is located just a minute’s walk from Hamburg Central Station and 25 minutes by train from the airport.

As a central hub, Hamburg Central Station is one of the most frequented railway stations in Europe. Proximity to the Walk-in customers visiting the nearby shopping mile also plays a key strategic role: “We want to open our doors to the public – for example through events – and make esports a tangible experience. Our aim is to position esports further in the center of society and thereby further reduce existing barriers or prejudices,” Wendt continues.

MOUZ has been a major player in esports since 2002 and is the most successful esports organization in Germany with over 400 titles won. The Hamburg-based organization is represented in games such as Counter-Strike, Dota, VALORANT and Sim Racing. In the esports scene, MOUZ stands for both sporting success and the development of the next generation of esports players. The opening of the new headquarters marks another milestone in the organization’s history and underlines the team’s ongoing commitment to making esports an integral part of society and paving the way for the stars of tomorrow.
