Tempelhofer Ufer 23–24, Heritage office building in Kreuzberg, Germany
Tempelhofer Ufer 23-24 is an office building in Kreuzberg featuring a sandstone facade with heavy columns and decorative lion head reliefs beneath the windows. The structure contains a central staircase and grand meeting rooms inside.
Architects Cremer and Wolffenstein designed this administrative building in 1913 for machinery company Orenstein & Koppel with a palatial style. The building later housed various organizations over time.
The building reflects early twentieth-century Berlin commercial style with its detailed stonework and grand interior rooms. Visitors can see the craftsmanship in the facade details and the way the spaces were designed to impress.
The building is freely accessible from the street, allowing visitors to view the detailed facade. The best time to observe the stonework is during daylight when the details are most visible.
The facade displays a relief carving of a globe that represented the worldwide business connections of the original company. This small detail reveals much about the ambitions and reach of the era's industry.
