Großgaststätte Ahornblatt, Cultural heritage monument in Berlin-Mitte, Germany.

The Großgaststätte Ahornblatt featured a distinctive concrete shell roof structure designed to resemble a maple leaf, with large glass surfaces and horizontal louvres.

Built between 1971 and 1973 as part of the Fischerinsel residential project, this structure served as a self-service restaurant with 880 seats for ministry employees.

The establishment functioned as a central gathering space for social events, hosting disco dances and community gatherings after regular dining hours.

Located at the intersection of Gertraudenstraße and Fischerinsel, the restaurant served employees of the East German Ministry of Construction and surrounding schools.

Despite receiving monument status in 1995, the building was demolished in 2000, sparking nationwide discussions about preserving East German architectural heritage.
