Ullsteinhaus

Ullsteinhaus is a publishing office building in Tempelhof with a twelve-story red brick structure spanning 77 meters in height. The facade features geometric patterns and horizontal lines that run continuously across its outer surface.

The Ullstein publishing company commissioned architect Eugen G. Schmohl in 1927 to design this building as their main headquarters. Its completion marked an important moment in the development of modern brick architecture in Berlin.

The structure embodies the Brick Expressionism movement of the 1920s and shows how raw materials became a tool for artistic expression in German architecture. The exterior demonstrates how brick was used not just for building, but as a medium for creative design.

The building sits at the intersection of Mariendorfer Damm and Ullsteinstraße, making it easy to locate and access by public transportation. Visitors can appreciate the architecture from the outside and from certain accessible interior areas where the design details remain visible.

The exterior displays intricately crafted reliefs and ornamental details that showcase the skill of bricklayers in that era. These decorative elements are carefully integrated into the structure and show how precise brickwork could be achieved.
