former Jewish retirement home

This building was constructed as a retirement home for the Jewish Community of Berlin. With horizontal areas of plaster, clinker brick and ribbon windows structuring its façade, which is slightly elevated and curved at the corner of Sulzaer Straße, this is a typical building in the style of Neue Sachlichkeit [New Objectivity]. Just ten years after the home opened, the National Socialists shut it down; its remaining
residents were deported and murdered in concentration camps. After use by the British army and later renovation and modernization, the building is today used as a nursing home. Next to the entrance on Berkaer Str. there is a memorial plaque honoring the architect and recalling the fate of prior residents.
