Mietshaus Prenzlauer Allee 212 is a five-storey rental block of plastered brick, built in 1896 to a design by Wilhelm Heinrich. Its facade carries stucco ornament, the ceilings inside are decorated with stucco work, and a wrought-iron gate closes the courtyard entrance.
Erected in 1896 by architect Wilhelm Heinrich, this residential building survived World War II bombing and East German urban renewal projects that destroyed many similar structures throughout Berlin.
Designated as a German cultural heritage monument, this building represents the social housing developments that accommodated Berlin's growing working and middle-class population during rapid industrialization.
Located at Prenzlauer Allee 212 in Pankow district, the building is accessible by public transportation and currently houses a substance abuse counseling center on the first floor.
The building is one of the few on Prenzlauer Allee to keep its original stairwell decoration: stenciled wall paintings that conservators restored using period techniques. Look up in the entrance hall for the repeating floral motifs that run between the landings.
