Haus der Technik

The Haus der Technik stands as a dark red brick building with exposed concrete portal elements, designed in the International Style by architect Hanns Hopp between 1924 and 1925.

Originally constructed as an exhibition hall for agricultural machinery during the Deutsche Ostmesse in Königsberg, the building was later renamed Schlageter-Haus during the Nazi period and hosted a mass rally by Adolf Hitler in March 1938.

The building serves as a symbol of the industrial and technological development of the region during the early 20th century, representing the transition from German to Russian cultural influence in Kaliningrad.

Located at coordinates 54.721389°N, 20.508889°E on ulitsa Professora Baranova, the building currently operates as a commercial center with shops, cafes, and office spaces, accessible by public transportation.

The entrance features a sculptural emblem by Hermann Brachert depicting a worker with a large gear, while the building's central hall was once larger than the Muscovite Hall in Königsberg Castle.
