New creation in the monument
The exhibition is dedicated to the listed high-rise office building at Württembergische Straße 6 in Berlin-Wilmersdorf. The reason for the exhibition is the imminent completion of the listed, energy-efficient renovation of the building. The building was built between 1954 and 1956 according to plans by the architect Werry Roth and was intended to symbolize the transparency of a democratic administration in the 1950s. The 60 meter high building was the tallest building in the city at the time.
The exhibition presents historical photographs, films, numerous artifacts and architectural photographs by Alexander Schippel. Carefully researched texts and plans provide information about the time when the building was built and those involved up to the current renovation. It provides insight into the transformation process of both the building and the 800 jobs located there.
