Alexander-Haus, Cultural heritage building in Groß Glienicke, Germany
The Alexander-Haus is a residential building in Groß Glienicke west of Berlin with characteristic Bauhaus features such as diamond patterns and blue-white colors on dark wood. The structure sits near a lake and displays the architectural style from the period it was built.
The building was completed in 1927 as a residence for a physician and his family, passing through several phases of German history. It witnessed years of conflict, division by the Berlin Wall, and eventually the reunification of the country.
The house carries its builder's name and reflects how a Jewish family lived here during the middle of the 20th century. Visitors today can see how living spaces and everyday details from that time have been preserved.
The site can be visited on certain days with guided tours and self-guided visits available. It is helpful to check opening times beforehand and plan your visit accordingly.
The house sat directly along the path of the Berlin Wall, which cut off its residents from the lake for decades. This geographical circumstance made it a symbol of division with traces still visible today.
