Mehringplatz

Hallesches Tor

About

There wasn't much left of Mehringplatz after the War—just a baroque band stand and an old victory column. City planners saw their chance and in the sixties, Mehringplatz became an architectural test-run for urban planners keen to create a modern, futuristic city. The result: Concrete housing blocks arranged in circles around concrete pedestrian areas. Great. Just compare this to the lovingly restored historic quarter around nearby Fraenkel-Ufer, which was fortunately spared the same fate after hefty protests.
