Elena Sturm (née Rosseeva), Helmut Cölfen, and co‐workers present a study that is focused on the structural evolution of 2D and 3D self‐assembled magnetite mesocrystalline films. In article 1600431, it is shown that the orientational order in 2D and 3D superstructures is different. In 2D superstructure nanoparticles prefer to keep the same orientation, while in 3D a certain tilt is necessary to achieve the most efficient space filling, in line with the well‐known “bump‐to‐hollow” packing principle.
