Kewenig was founded in 1986 as Jule Kewenig Galerie, based in Haus Bitz in Frechen near Cologne. After more than 25 years in the Rhineland the gallery is now located in Berlin. In September 2013, Kewenig inaugurated the new gallery building in Brüderstrasse 10, the second oldest town house of Berlin in the south of the museum island.
