Description

Begin your tour at the Technical University architecture building on Ernst-Reuter-Platz, with its expressive forms and clear grid. Learn in an exclusive inside visit about the German Opera House nearby, designed by Fritz Bornemann. From the street, it appears as a hermetic and introverted box – inside, with its open foyers and low auditorium, it tells of a modest concept of culture. Head north to a touching sacred building: the Regina Martyrum Catholic memorial church combines a strict, orthogonal order, an inner courtyard enclosed by high walls with a filigree church interior and visually stunning art. In the debate about whether to protect or demolish a listed building, the three buildings shed light on the significance of Brutalism in Berlin.
