Hochhaus an der Weberwiese, Residential high-rise building in Friedrichshain, Germany.

The building features ceramic tiles across its symmetrical facade, rising 35 meters with nine floors and incorporating traditional brickwork construction methods.

Completed in 1952 during East Germany's post-war reconstruction period, architect Hermann Henselmann designed this structure as a model for socialist residential architecture.

The structure displays elements of both Stalinist and neoclassical architecture, with decorative friezes, cornices, and pillars reflecting the national design preferences.

The building contains 33 residential apartments, equipped with central heating systems, built-in kitchens, and one elevator serving all nine floors.

A quote by Bertolt Brecht appears above the main entrance, translating to 'Peace in our country, peace in our city, may it house well those who built it.'
