WOGA-complex at Lehniner Platz

The WOGA-complex integrates residential buildings, shopping facilities, and cultural spaces across a four-hectare area along Kurfürstendamm in Berlin.

Erich Mendelsohn designed this modernist complex between 1925 and 1931, incorporating the Universum cinema which later transformed into the Schaubühne theater after World War II.

The Kabarett der Komiker within the complex provided a performance venue for Jewish artists during the early 1930s, featuring advanced stage and ventilation systems.

The complex remains accessible through multiple public transportation options, with entrances from Paulsborner Straße, Cicerostraße, Kurfürstendamm, and Albrecht-Achilles-Straße.

The residential buildings showcase innovative features for their time, including intercom systems, central heating, and distinctive wavy brick balconies along Cicerostraße.
