gedächtnis-kirche, berlin 1957-1963.

the exterior of this wall.

eiermann appears to connect the rationalism of ludwig mies and auguste perret in his steel frame and concrete panels that act as brise soleil in the office wings and as a prefabricated concrete curtain wall in the church where the coloured glass infill create the effect of a gothic window.

thus eiermann combines the classical and the gothic in the church just as auguste perret had done in his. this is german romanticism holding its breath.

post-war housing, interbau exhibition, hansaviertel, berlin 1954-1961.
architect: egon eiermann, 1904-1970.

eiermann's facade borders on minimalism. the slightly cage-like balconies are redeemed by the fine way they expose the many different and personal uses and furnishings of the outdoor space.

best of german sachlichkeit.
