Ceciliengärten, Garden monument and residential complex in Schöneberg, Germany

The Ceciliengärten encompasses residential buildings surrounding a central garden square featuring two water fountains and an oval pond at its center.

Built between 1922 and 1927 for municipal employees, the estate was designed by architect Heinrich Lassen and named after Crown Princess Cecilie of Prussia.

The garden displays two large sculptures by Georg Kolbe titled 'The Morning' and 'The Evening', positioned in dancing poses facing each other.

The residential units follow an east-west orientation to ensure sufficient sunlight and ventilation while avoiding north-facing rooms for optimal living conditions.

The distinctive studio tower in Semperstraße, with its octagonal roof and archway, served as residence for painter Hans Baluschek from 1929 to 1933.

Location: Tempelhof-Schöneberg

Architects: Heinrich Lassen
