Haus Liebermann, Historical building at Pariser Platz, Berlin, Germany
Haus Liebermann is a three-story sandstone building next to the Brandenburg Gate with classical architectural elements and a flat roof with corner decorations. The structure, reconstructed in 1999, now houses exhibition spaces for art presentations.
The original building was designed in 1844 by architect August Stüler and served as the home of painter Max Liebermann. It was destroyed during World War II and later reconstructed at its original location.
The house is named after Max Liebermann, who lived here for 78 years and used the second floor with his wife Martha and daughter Käthe from 1892. Since 2000 the Stiftung Brandenburger Tor has run the rooms and an exhibition of Liebermann paintings, which visitors can see.
The building sits directly on Pariser Platz, a central point in Berlin, and is easily reached on foot. Visitors should note that exhibition spaces may have limited opening hours, and checking ahead is wise.
In front of the entrance lies a Stolperstein, a small brass cobblestone set by artist Gunter Demnig in the early 21st century, inscribed with Martha Liebermann's name. It is not a wall plaque but a paving stone at ground level, easily missed by visitors looking up at the facade.
