  • A Foreign Affair (1948)
    Chapter 3 IN THE RUINS OF BERLIN: A FOREIGN AFFAIR (1948) “We wondered where we should go now that the war was over. None of us—I mean the émigrés—really knew where we stood. Should we go home? Where was home?” —Billy Wilder1 Sightseeing in Berlin Early into A Foreign Affair, the delegates of the US Congress in Berlin on a fact-fi nding mission are treated to a tour of the city by Colonel Plummer (Millard Mitchell). In an open sedan, the Colonel takes them by landmarks such as the Brandenburg Gate, the Reichstag, Pariser Platz, Unter den Lin- den, and the Tiergarten. While documentary footage of heavily damaged buildings rolls by in rear-projection, the Colonel explains to the visitors— and the viewers—what they are seeing, combining brief factual accounts with his own ironic commentary about the ruins. Thus, a pile of rubble is identifi ed as the Adlon Hotel, “just after the 8th Air Force checked in for the weekend, “ while the Reich’s Chancellery is labeled Hitler’s “duplex.” “As it turned out,” Plummer explains, “one part got to be a great big pad- ded cell, and the other a mortuary. Underneath it is a concrete basement. That’s where he married Eva Braun and that’s where they killed them- selves. A lot of people say it was the perfect honeymoon. And there’s the balcony where he promised that his Reich would last a thousand years— that’s the one that broke the bookies’ hearts.” On a narrative level, the sequence is marked by factual snippets infused with the snide remarks of victorious Army personnel, making the fi lm waver between an educational program, an overwrought history lesson, and a comedy of very dark humor.

  • Press Release Berlin, 15 February 2019
    Press Release Berlin, 15 February 2019 Schlüter’s colossal sculptures have arrived in the Humboldt Forum The eight surviving colossal sculptures from the workshop of the famous sculptor and architect Andreas Schlüter have returned to the Schlossplatz – their place of origin. The sandstone figures, which are all on loan from the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin – Stiftung Preußischer Kulturbesitz, were recently transported from the Bode Museum and the Palace Workshop to the Humboldt Forum, where they have been put on display in the Sculpture Hall. When the Humboldt Forum opens at the end of this year, visitors will be able to see these marvellous sculptures, united once more as an intrinsic part of the history of the location. Schlüter’s eight sandstone sculptures originally stood in the Berlin Palace courtyard that bears his name – the Schlüterhof. They were among the few sculptures that were fortunately salvaged from the ruins of the Palace before its demolition in 1950. With the exception of the nineteenth-century copy of Antinous, they were all made in the seventeenth century. Six of the sculptures originally crowned the columns in front of the great courtyard portal, where, at over three metres high, they served as dignified ornamentation for the palace courtyard. They represent a canon of the ideal virtues of a ruler. Meleager, for example, stands for heroism and the protection of his subjects, Apollo symbolizes the nurturing of art and science, whilst Mercury represents the promotion of trade and the economy. The other two[NM1], the robed [ERJ2]female figures Industry and Harmony, adorned the interior wall of Gateway 1.

  • He Big “Mitte-Struggle” Politics and Aesthetics of Berlin's Post
    Martin Gegner he big “mitt e-struggl e” politics and a esth etics of t b rlin’s post-r nification e eu urbanism proj ects Abstract There is hardly a metropolis found in Europe or elsewhere where the 104 urban structure and architectural face changed as often, or dramatically, as in 20 th century Berlin. During this century, the city served as the state capital for five different political systems, suffered partial destruction pós- during World War II, and experienced physical separation by the Berlin wall for 28 years. Shortly after the reunification of Germany in 1989, Berlin was designated the capital of the unified country. This triggered massive building activity for federal ministries and other governmental facilities, the majority of which was carried out in the old city center (Mitte) . It was here that previous regimes of various ideologies had built their major architectural state representations; from to the authoritarian Empire (1871-1918) to authoritarian socialism in the German Democratic Republic (1949-89). All of these époques still have remains concentrated in the Mitte district, but it is not only with governmental buildings that Berlin and its Mitte transformed drastically in the last 20 years; there were also cultural, commercial, and industrial projects and, of course, apartment buildings which were designed and completed. With all of these reasons for construction, the question arose of what to do with the old buildings and how to build the new. From 1991 onwards, the Berlin urbanism authority worked out guidelines which set aesthetic guidelines for all construction activity. The 1999 Planwerk Innenstadt (City Center Master Plan) itself was based on a Leitbild (overall concept) from the 1980s called “Critical Reconstruction of a European City.” Many critics, architects, and theorists called it a prohibitive construction doctrine that, to a certain extent, represented conservative or even reactionary political tendencies in unified Germany.

  • Architecture in Berlin. a Walk Through History Instructor
    Course title: Architecture in Berlin. A Walk through History Instructor: Dr. Gernot Weckherlin Email address: [email protected] Track: A-Track Language of instruction: English Contact hours: 48 (6 per day) ECTS-Credits: 5 Prerequisites: Students should be able to speak and read English at the upper intermediate level (B2) or higher. Course description This course gives a wide overview of the development of public and private architecture in Berlin during the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries. Following an introduction to the urban development and architectural history of the Modern era, the Neo-Classical period will be surveyed with special reference to the works of Schinkel. This will be followed by classes on architecture of the German Reich after 1871, which was characterized by both modern and conservative tendencies and the manifold activities during the time of the Weimar Republic in the 1920s such as the Housing Revolution. The architecture of the Nazi period will be examined, followed by the developments in East and West Berlin after the Second World War. The course concludes with a detailed review of the city’s more recent and current architectural profiles, including an analysis of the conflicts concerning the re-design of Berlin after the Cold War and the German reunification. Seven walking tours to historically significant buildings and sites are included (Unter den Linden, Gendarmenmarkt, New Housing Estates, Chancellory, Potsdamer Platz, Holocaust Memorial etc.). The course aims to offer a deeper understanding of the interdependence of Berlin’s architecture and the city’s social and political structures. It considers Berlin as a model for the highways and by-ways of a European capital in modern times.

    The Humboldt-Forum is ► an international meeting point and forum for the world The Humboldt-Forum aims to improve our understanding of the globalised world in which we live by raising questions and also searching for solutions. It is our goal to promote interaction between different cultures and to increase mutual understanding. In today’s mediated world, geographical distances / dimensions are less and less determining factors for many people. However, this change has not been accompanied by an increase in genuine understanding for one another, so it is all the more important to support this understanding, and to highlight developments in relationships between cultures and societies. The forum seeks to illuminate the tasks with which we are faced – in our cultures, societies, economies, and politics. ► a new home for equal rights, tolerance and democracy The Berlin Palace and the square where it is situated look back on a turbulent history. Even as the palace conjures notions of the building’s historical identity, the reconstructed palace will primarily serve as the home of the Humboldt-Forum; and thus help foster a respectful and equitable world community founded on the principle of diversity. History, however, will not be buried in the process: a number of freely accessible areas will address the palace’s history and reveal traces of the past. ► a historical, present, and future obligation Following in the spirit of Alexander and Wilhelm von Humboldt, the brothers who give the Humboldt-Forum its name and conceptual ideas, the forum is characterised by its cosmopolitan worldview and democratic consciousness. Actors and partners of the Humboldt-Forum committed to this tradition include the Stiftung Preussischer Kulturbesitz (Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation) with its two National Museums, the Berlin State, with especially the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, as well as the Stiftung Berliner Schloss – Humboldt Forum (Berlin Palace – Humboldt Forum Foundation).

  • Ankauf Reimarherbst-Erläuterungsbericht
    Wiedererrichtung des Berliner Schlosses 771828 Bau des Humboldt-Forums im Schlossareal Berlin Erläuterungstext Wettbewerbsentwurf Leitidee des Entwurfes ist es mit dem Bau des Humboldt-Forums den städtebaulichen Raum entsprechend des historischen Vermächtnisses wieder herzustellen und den Dialog mit den angrenzenden Strukturen wieder aufzunehmen. Diesem Ansatz folgend wird die Stereometrie des ehemaligen Berliner Schlosses mit zwei Höfen und dem Apothekerflügel aufgenommen und neu interpretiert. Raum Der Baukörper definiert und hierarchisiert Räume: den städtischen Außenraum, Schlossplatz, Schlossfreiheit und Schlossterrassen mit Lustgarten, die öffentlichen Höfe, die Agora und die internen Atrien. Transparenz Die Verknüpfung dieser Räume eröffnet Blickbeziehungen zwischen den städtischen Räumen und aus dem Gebäude in typologisch differenzierte Freiräume. Städtebau Mit der Kubatur des ehemaligen Schlosses und des Apothekerflügels werden stadträumliche Kanten und das historische Platzgefüge wieder hergestellt. Das Alte Museum und der Dom erhalten mit dem „Neubau“ das historische Gegenüber und der Lustgarten seine historische Einfassung. Kolonnaden Die räumliche Fassung wird durch das Motiv der Kolonnaden verstärkt, die vom Alten Museum übernommen und über den Säulengang des Berliner Doms über die Karl-Liebknecht-Strasse hinweg zum Humboldtforum überleiten und direkt ins Neue Gebäude führen. Höfe Der Erhalt der beiden Höfe in ihrer ursprünglichen Größe und Offenheit war höchste Priorität, um das Humboldt-Forum, so wie ehemals das Berliner Schloss, ganzheitlich in das Gewebe der städtischen Struktur einzubinden. Im Inneren des Gebäudes erinnert der zentrale Luftraum in der Agora an den historischen Eishof. Durchwegung Das Humboldt-Forum nimmt die historischen Erschließungs- und Blickachsen auf und führt den Besucher über alle fünf historischen Portale in die offenen und miteinander verbundenen Höfe. Beide Höfe sind durch Kolonnaden räumlich gegliedert.
