Mossehaus

The Mossehaus is a building in Berlin-Mitte that combines traditional sandstone facades with modernist upper floors, located at Schützenstraße 18-25. The structure displays early 20th-century design elements layered across multiple stories.

The building was constructed between 1900 and 1903 as a printing and newspaper facility for Rudolf Mosse. The complex suffered damage during the 1919 Spartacist uprising.

The building once served as the heart of Berlin's newspaper district, housing editorial offices that shaped the city and country. People gathered here to read and distribute news that influenced public thought and debate.

The location is easy to find near Jerusalemer Street and currently houses various shops and offices. After extensive restoration in 1995, it remains accessible to visitors and continues operating as a commercial center.

Architect Erich Mendelsohn carried out a renovation in 1923 that introduced aluminum elements and reinforced concrete construction. This made the building an early example of streamlined architecture that stood apart from traditional building styles.
