commercial building & apartment block (Mehringplatz)

Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg, Germany

Exterior only

Visible from the street; the inside is private.

This mixed-use commercial building and apartment block, completed in 1975 in Berlin's Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg district, was designed by four architects—Bodo Fleischer, Walter Rossow, Werner Düttmann, and Hans Scharoun—working collaboratively. The structure combines retail and office space with residential units, exemplifying the postwar modernist approach to urban infill development. Designated as a cultural heritage monument, it stands as a significant example of 1970s Berlin architecture and urban planning, with portions of the building recognized as a heritage site within the Kreuzberg quarter.
