Haus des Fremdenverkehrs, Office building in Tiergarten, Berlin, Germany.

The Haus des Fremdenverkehrs stretched along the planned North-South axis of Berlin, featuring a monumental stone facade and strict geometric patterns.

Construction of the building started in 1938 with a foundation ceremony attended by Adolf Hitler, Joseph Goebbels, and Albert Speer, but halted in 1942.

The building represented the architectural principles of the Nazi period, designed by government architects Theodor Dierksmeier and Hugo Röttcher.

The unfinished structure remained standing after World War II and temporarily served as a public swimming pool and playground during the 1950s.

The raw structure survived World War II with minimal damage except for a bomb strike on its southern section, before demolition in 1962.
