Eierkühlhaus, Architectural heritage monument in Friedrichshain, Germany.
The Eierkühlhaus is a six-story concrete structure with a distinctive clinker brick facade in yellow and multiple colors. Its exterior walls display geometric rhombus patterns created by alternating the placement of colored bricks throughout.
The building was designed and built in 1929 by architect Oskar Pusch. It originally served as a cold storage facility that could hold up to 75 million eggs and other perishable goods, using cork insulation to maintain temperature control.
The name itself reveals the building's original purpose: egg cooling house. Today it houses modern offices and workspaces, while its distinctive patterned brick facade tells the story of Berlin's industrial past to everyone who passes by.
The building stands at Stralauer Allee 1 in Berlin and is easily visible from the street. Since 2002 it has housed Universal Music Group's German headquarters, so the interior is typically not open to the public.
During renovation, three facades received modern glass additions. The side facing Oberbaum Bridge, however, kept its original clinker brick pattern and still shows the craftsmanship of Oskar Pusch's original design.
