ADN-Gebäude

The ADN-Gebäude is a modern ten-story high-rise in Berlin-Mitte at the corner of Mollstrasse and Karl-Liebknecht-Strasse. The structure combines a tall office section with an attached lower building that once housed central photo archives.

The building opened on 11 June 1971 and served as headquarters for the General German News Service until 1992. It represents a significant period in East German media history.

The building stands at a location that held meaning during the peaceful revolution, when thousands of people gathered here. Its design reflects the practical needs of a major news organization that once operated within its walls.

The high-rise is centrally located in Berlin-Mitte and can be easily reached from Mollstrasse and Karl-Liebknecht-Strasse. As an active office building with private workspace, free public access to its interior is typically not available.

The lower facade of the building features a distinctive waffle pattern that sets it apart from other structures nearby. This striking design element makes the high-rise a recognizable landmark in the city.
