Lemke House

The Lemke House is a residential building made of red-brown clinker brick with large glass windows and a flat roof in Lichtenberg. Its L-shaped design connects the interior spaces directly with the garden through open, flowing transitions.

The house was completed in 1933 as the final building project by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe in Germany before he moved to the United States. This residence marked the end of an era and the start of new directions in his career.

The house is named after its original owners and preserves how they lived in the 1930s. The rooms show how daily life and art were meant to work together, following Bauhaus ideas.

The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday and admission is free for all visitors. Plan to spend enough time walking through the rooms and exploring the grounds at a comfortable pace.

The furniture in each room was custom-designed by Mies van der Rohe and uses specific wood types selected to match the room's purpose. These details are often overlooked but reveal the thoughtful approach behind the design.
