Haus des Reisens, Office building at Alexanderplatz, Berlin, Germany.

The Haus des Reisens stands 67 meters tall with 17 floors, featuring a two-story base structure with wave-like concrete moldings around its perimeter.

Built between 1969 and 1971, this structure served as the headquarters for the Main Directorate of Travel Agents during the German Democratic Republic period.

The eastern facade displays a copper artwork by Walter Womacka titled 'Der Mensch überwindet Zeit und Raum' depicting human connections through space and time.

The building connects directly to Alexanderplatz transportation hub, making it accessible through multiple subway lines, trams, regional trains, and city buses.

The structure features an unusual combination of minimalist tower architecture with decorative wave-shaped concrete elements that resemble scallop shell patterns.
