Re/Inventing Berlin – Architecture After 1945 Alessa K Re/Inventing Berlin – Architecture after 1945 Alessa K. Paluch [email protected] Consultation: by appointment Tuesday 14:00-16:00, if not on-site then: Hausvogteiplatz 5-7, Raum 0323-26 Taught in English, minimum B2 (with the Option to Write the Essay in German) At the end of World War II Berlin , the former capital of Hitlers Third Reich, was largely destroyed. But the area-wide destructions also held a chance: the possibility to rebuild Berlin as a totally new city – in modernists words: as a better city. And indeed Berlin changed dramatically – but not in the way modern architects and urban planners had envisioned it in the post-war period. Quite differing proposals were made in East and West Berlin. Especially for the so called Capital of the Cold War it proves to be true that architecture is a not just a mirror to the society which builds it – but that architecture also shapes the lives of the people living with and within it. Using examples such as Karl-Marx-Allee, Hansaviertel, Gropiusstadt, Potsdamer Platz et al. this seminar retraces the stations and phases of reconstruction with a focus on political, cultural and social developments. The most influential concepts of 20th century urban planning will be presented. In addition the seminar aims to be an exercise in (architecture) criticism. Course Requirements for 5 ECTS: • Regular Attendance Attendance Policy: You may not miss more than 2 sessions. The missing of a session should be communicated in advance via email. If a third session is missed a make-up-work can be arranged.

  • Spree Riverbanks for Everyone! What Remains of “Sink Mediaspree”?1
    Spree Riverbanks for Everyone! What Remains of “Sink Mediaspree”?1 Jan Dohnke In recent years, the protests against the large-scale investment project “Media- spree” in Kreuzberg-Friedrichshain have repoliticized the public debate on ur- ban development more than any other event in Berlin. In the context of urban development that is increasingly dominated by neoliberal concepts in the wake of German reunification, the “Sink Mediaspree” initiative has been especially effective in putting fundamental questions about the sense and purpose of the urban development in Berlin back on the agenda. In a manner that drew the wider public’s attention, this movement also succeeded in challenging “entre- preneurial urban policy” in general. In fact, the planning decisions that have provoked citizens’ protest since 2006 contained many elements that seam- lessly fit into Berlin’s neoliberal restructuring. The commitment to large-scale, investor-friendly projects at the expense of local organisational structures and needs in order to create locational advantages for the city in the international competition to attract investors; advancing privatisation and commercialisation to the disadvantage of the broader public good; and, overall, the increasingly one-dimensional orientation of planning and land utilisation toward economic targets. In the light of the state of Berlin’s difficult financial situation, development is largely expected to come from the private sector, whose investments facili- tate construction projects and, on this basis, are supposed to create new jobs. Apart from marketing strategies, Berlin (like many other cities) also draws on particular incentive strategies, e.g. the affordable provision of infrastructure, public subsidies, tax concessions, and a form of planning that privileges major investors by means of its large-scale and dense nature.

Chg Forecast ECONOMY: Signs of Recovery According to Oxford Economics’ estimates, Germany faced a fall in GDP of almost 11% in the second quarter due to the measures 3.9% imposed by the government to combat the spread of Covid-19. Unemployment increased by more than 500,000 persons in only Vacancy Rate three months, to 2.85 million by end of June. The number of employees on the government’s furlough scheme reached 6.83 million in April 2020.

Sentiment among German companies, as measured by the ifo Business Climate Index, Take-Up sq.m brightened in May and particularly in June, with the strongest increase ever recorded. In Germany, never before have so many office employees worked remotely as in recent months and it appears common sense, that this experience will further boost digitalization in Germany and will have a lasting impact on the way work is distributed between office space and alternative spaces, EUR 37.77 including homes, cafés and local office hubs. Avg. Prime Rent, Sq.m/month DEMAND: Take-up Plunged Due to the lockdown, activity in the office letting market slowed at end of March and remained at a low level untill early June. Many searches for spaces were withdrawn or put on hold. However, space negotiations which were at an advanced stage were still pursued and finalized.

While some parts of the economy have fared well, others faced tremendous difficulties with a sudden DIC Asset Buy decline in demand leading to zero revenue generation – a crisis impact not seen before. 10.24 19.00 85.5% For the real estate market, the consequences of such changes vary across sectors and UBM Development Buy in the degree of visibility and thus, in terms of future outcomes. While the residential 31.00 47.00 51.6% sector developed very well, the distressed retail sector remains under pressure. The office sector however, has not provided a very clear picture of the future and after taking a closer look at the prevailing driving forces, we share our insights and expectations in this report. Investment market: The different stimulus packages should ensure that investor confidence in the German investment market, and particularly in the office market, continues to strengthen. With this, the transaction market is expected to pick up again. Rental market: The incipient economic recovery should have a positive effect on the rental market and, despite all the uncertainties, we expect a moderate recovery in the coming months. Vacancy: As tenants are expected to remain cautions, with many adopting a “wait-and- see” approach as the pandemic continues, vacancies should increase slightly towards the end of the year as new office space comes onto market.

  • Initiativkreis Mediaspree Versenken! Ag Spreeufer
    INITIATIVKREIS MEDIASPREE VERSENKEN! AG SPREEUFER Information zum Anschutz-Gelände Das Baugebiet teilt sich in drei Grundstücksteile: Das Post-Areal (wieder Post AG), „Anschutz-Areal“ (Anschutz Enter- tainment Group AEG), „BSR-Areal“ (BSR, Land Berlin, sozialer Woh- nungsbau möglich) Rund um die O2-World sind fünf Hochhäuser zwischen 50 und 138 Metern geplant. Die meisten übrigen Baukörper sind 28 Meter hoch. Besonders das 138-Meter-Hochhaus gegenüber des U-Bahnhofs Warschauer Straße ruft allgemeines Entsetzen hervor. Westlich der Veranstaltungshalle ist ein „Entertainment-Center“ geplant, das Paral- lelen mit Las Vegas und ein „Currywurst-Museum“ haben soll, so der Eigentümer, der texanische Multimilliardär Philip Anschutz. Insgesamt sind sagenhafte 623.000qm Geschossfläche ge- plant, davon rund 100.000qm auf dem Grundstück der BSR am östlichen Rand des Areals. 27 Mio. Euro investierte das Land Berlin bereits in Planung, Straßenbau und Abbruch- maßnahmen – damit sich die Grundstücke teurer weiterver- kaufen lassen. Der damalige Kaufpreis für das Areal (ehem. Ostgüterbahnhof - Bundeseigentum) ist Geheimsache. Das Bauvorhaben ist das Resultat eines städtebaulichen Gutach- tens aus dem Jahr 2002 und wurde als „vorhabenbezogener Bebauungsplan“ der Öffentlichkeit lediglich vorgestellt, ohne dass diese einen relevanten Einfluss auf Änderungen gehabt hätte. Seit dem 29.01.2004 ist der Bebauugnsplan festgesetzt, der städtebauliche Vertrag sichert die Planung bis ins Jahr 2020. Es sind 6.000 KFZ-Stellplätze vorgesehen. Angesichts der gewaltigen Masse der „O2-World“ (Höhe: 42,5 Meter) ist eine dichte Umbauung kaum vorstellbar. Es gibt aber auch viele Stimmen, die sich angesichts der geringen architektonische Qualität eine Umbauung herbeisehen. Lösungsperspektive: Der Senat und der Bezirk leiten neue Verhandlungen mit der „Anschutz Entertainment Group“ (AEG) ein mit dem Ziel, die Planung zu überarbeiten.

  • Berlin / Deutschland
    Mai 2021 grundbesitz europa Büroimmobilie „Up!“, Berlin / Deutschland Ankauf im November 2018 / Fertigstellung im Mai 2021 Das Fondsmanagement von grundbesitz europa hat im November 2018 die Projektentwicklung eines Bürogebäudes in Berlin erworben. Der Bau der für einen Kaufpreis von rund 315,0 Mio. EUR angekauften herausragenden Immobilie wurde im Mai 2021 planmäßig abgeschlossen und das Gebäude in den Bestand übernommen. „Up!“ ist nun die drittgrößte Immobilie im Portfolio des europaweit investierenden Fonds und das volumenmäßig größte Objekt in Deutschland. Zudem ist es aktuell das 100. Objekt des grundbesitz europa. Die mit „LEED Gold“ für ökologisch nachhaltiges Bauen zertifizierte Immobilie entspricht mit ihrer zentralen Lage, der hohen Gebäudequalität und den attraktiven Ausstattungen nahezu perfekt den Anforderungen an ein „Next Generation Office“, das von jungen, tech-affinen Unternehmen bevorzugt angemietet wird. Die Investition in solche Büroobjekte ist eine der Kernstrategien der DWS. Nachdem vor rund vier Jahren das ehemals größte Kaufhaus der DDR, das später als „Kaufhof am Ostbahnhof“ bekannt war, seine Pforten schloss, begann eine umfassenden Kernsanierung des Bestandgebäudes und eine komplette Erneuerung der Fassade. Entstanden ist das markante Bürogebäude „Up!“ mit attraktiven Flächen und Raumhöhen von bis zu fünf Metern sowie Einzelhandelsflächen – insbesondere für Nahversorgung und Gastronomie – in einer gut frequentierten Lage in einem dicht besiedelten Teil Berlins. Ein Mieter einer großen Ladenfläche im Erdgeschoss wird eine bekannte Biomarkt-Kette sein. Die jetzt neungeschossige Immobilie verfügt über einen hohen Wiedererkennungswert; so macht die markante und einzigartige Architektur mit viel Glas und V-förmigen Lichteinschnitten in der Fassade sowie den außergewöhnlich hohen Decken die Immobilie einzigartig. Die Büroflächen sind vollständig und langfristig an das Unternehmen Zalando vermietet, eine der führenden Online-Plattformen für Mode in Europa.

Gate, BERLIN, ZWISCHENNUTZUNG, GENTRIFICATION AND PUBLIC PARTICIPATION JEKATERINA BALICKA, landscape architect and PhD candidate at Estonian University of Life Sciences THE GLORY OF BERLIN The past decade has been characterized by a boom of urbanism. Buzzwords, such as ‘grass-root urban initiatives’, ‘participation’ and ‘creative districts’ have become hip, actual and important. Berlin is still often cited as an ex- ample of being cool, creative and livable – as if Berlin was implementing the heritage of Jane Jacobs directly in its urban development strategies. The city profits from its low-budget coolness – the mayor of Berlin, Klaus Wowereit (2001–), has stated, that ´Berlin is poor, but sexy´, attracting people from dif- ferent parts of Germany and other parts of the world, for both short stays or long-term living. The object of touristic interest over the past decade was not only its architecture and museums, but its quality of life: its freedom, ESTONIAN URBANISTS' REVIEW 13 OUTSIDER'S PERSPECTIVE its uncertainty. There remains an idea of Berlin being cool, an example of which could be eating a kebab under a scaffold, with people passing by just next to you; or watching a Karaoke event at Mauerpark after some flea-market shopping; or taking a picture in a retro photo booth next to the S-Bahn station Warschauer Straße; or standing in the long queue to get through the face- control at the legendary Berghain club, or any other scenes of the easyJet influenced touristic Berlin-idyll of the years 2006–2010.

    M A R K E T B E AT BERLIN Office Q3 2020 OVERVIEW YoY 3-Mo. With 3.67 million inhabitants and 1.56 million employees contributing to social insurance, Berlin is Germany’s capital and its largest Forecast Chg city. At €74,200, the GDP per employed person is still 2% below the national average and well below the figures for the other major German cities. For historical reasons, Berlin is in the process of catching up economically. Both the GDP and the number of 2.5% employees have been growing at an above-average rate for many years. Vacancy Rate 145K SUPPLY AND DEMAND Take-Up in sqm At 144,800 sqm, take-up in the third quarter was 18% lower than in the previous quarter and 46% lower than the five-year average of third quarters. The second quarter bore the brunt of the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and would have marked a clear low point for office space take-up, had it not been for the office lease signed by Deutsche Rentenversicherung; one of the largest €38.00 ever in Berlin. Since then, leasing activity has actually increased again underpinned by the number of leases, which increased from Prime Rent /sqm/month 110 to 145. The public sector again leased space on a large scale and accounted for 43% of take-up. The twelve-month take-up decreased sharply to 702,900 sqm because of the weak take-up since the beginning of the year and the exclusion of the record Q3 (Overall, Office) 2019.
