BUILDING

The building is part of the listed ensemble along Karl-Marx-Allee and is considered a sought-after gem of its time with its striking 1950s architecture in the Zuckerbäcker style. The bright, glazed ceramic façade, fine muntin windows, wrought-iron “angel” railings, and vertical structuring give the structure its characteristic elegant appearance.

The entrance is invitingly designed with original wooden doors including glazing.

The staircase impresses with its generous proportions, clear geometry, and high-quality details. Concrete stone tiles on the floor contrast with light walls; the railing is finely profiled, and large windows provide plenty of natural light. Next to the staircase, an elevator serves all floors except the basement.

Preserved details such as wooden mailboxes, original fittings, and ornate frames underscore the authentic character of the building. Architecture and materiality combine here to form a calm, dignified unity that brings the post-war modernist history of former East Berlin to life.

On the ground floor there are two bicycle storage rooms as well as private parking spaces behind the building, which can be rented if needed.

The apartment is located in the center of Berlin, in the Friedrichshain district near Weberwiese. The broad, grand boulevard of Karl-Marx-Allee—with its tree-lined avenue, galleries, cafés, and rose garden—defines the neighborhood, as does the nearby Weberwiese park behind the building, framed by a fountain and the characteristic residential buildings of the area.

Weberwiese subway station (U5) is located just outside the front door. The main train station is reachable in about 15 minutes and Berlin Brandenburg Airport in roughly 40 minutes.

For daily needs there is a small local supermarket in the building as well as an EDEKA grocery store, a Rossmann drugstore, and several bakeries within convenient walking distance.

In the immediate vicinity are the restaurant James June with its summer garden and winter lounge, and Café Saaldeck—both popular traditional venues in the quarter. The Spree River with its riverside promenades is equally accessible, as is Boxhagener Platz in Friedrichshain with its weekly market and diverse dining options, or the nearby central Berlin area with its cafés, restaurants, and Museum Island.

APARTMENT

This apartment on the 4th floor of a unique historic building combines original construction substance with a timeless, understated interior design. It has a through layout from one façade to the other, and the rooms are bright and spacious.

A generous hallway provides access to all rooms, with its discrete period features offering hidden storage.

The bright kitchen, designed with clear lines and precise workmanship, reinforces the apartment’s restrained materiality. Built-in cabinets cleverly conceal the dishwasher, a large refrigerator, and the washing machine while offering additional storage space. A dining table naturally finds its place at the elegantly curved corner bench. The north-facing balcony adjacent to the kitchen provides an expansive view over the tree-lined avenue and the surrounding development along Karl-Marx-Allee.

The bathroom is kept dark and subdued, featuring a small built-in cabinet. With its clear forms and classic fittings, the bathroom seamlessly integrates into the apartment’s historic character.

The bedroom faces north toward the street and benefits from large windows that let in plenty of daylight while insulated glazing effectively mitigates street noise. A built-in bookcase with a niche below the windows offers space for a large bed or sofa as well as books.

The quietly located living room has south-facing windows that open the view to the tall crowns of poplar trees. A built-in bookcase beneath the windows functions as both storage and a window sill.

A storage room between the living room and the bedroom—with wall-mounted shelves, an integrated clothes rail, and a ceiling-mounted clothes dryer—can serve as additional storage or as a walk-in closet.

The apartment was carefully renovated in 2020 and is presented in very well-maintained condition. The original stone screed—a typical feature of these 1950s buildings—was re-exposed and restored; however, in some areas it still requires further work, offering the opportunity to enhance its original material expression even more.
