Haus des Lehrers, Building complex in Mitte, Berlin, Germany
Standing at 54 meters with twelve floors, the Haus des Lehrers features an extensive mosaic facade created with 800,000 stones near Alexanderplatz.
The structure, completed in 1964, emerged as the first skyscraper in the Alexanderplatz area, replacing a building destroyed during World War II.
The exterior mosaic designed by Walter Womacka depicts various occupational groups and daily activities of East German society through detailed stone arrangements.
The building hosts a congress hall known as the Berliner Congress Center, which offers facilities for events and gatherings throughout the year.
Between 2003 and 2011, the structure served as the venue for the annual Chaos Communication Congress, a significant gathering in computer technology.
