Haus des Deutschen Metallarbeiterverbandes, Modernist labor union office building in Kreuzberg, Germany
The triangular structure features a curved facade with horizontal window bands and a central higher section connecting two side wings.
The German Metalworkers Union headquarters, opened in 1930, was seized by the Nazi Labor Front in 1933 and sustained heavy damage during World War II.
The building represents the New Objectivity architectural movement with its minimal ornamentation and functional design elements in steel and natural stone.
The building at Alte Jakobstraße 149 houses the IG Metall district management offices for Berlin, Brandenburg, and Saxony regions.
The entrance includes a bronze spiral staircase leading to an elevated first floor with a conference hall behind large glass windows.
