Berlin: Hansaviertel 1950s Architecture Walking Tour

Explore the Hansaviertel in Berlin on a guided walking tour led by local architects. Discover the 1950s housing projects, see designs by famous architects, and learn about the area's history.
Meet your guide in front of the Berlin-Pavillon and set off on a walking tour of the Hansaviertel, a prime example of modern architecture and urban planning from the 1950s. Built for the International Building Exhibition in 1957, this large urban development is on its way to becoming a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Explore the Hansaviertel, which consists of 36 individual buildings and ensembles designed by more than 50 renowned architects, including Alvar Aalto, Egon Eiermann, Walter Gropius, Arne Jacobsen, and Oscar Niemeyer. Discover how these architects, representatives of the “New Building Movement,” celebrated the revival of international modernism.

Throughout the tour, your guide will illustrate the architectural features of the buildings using photos and floor plans, providing detailed explanations from the outside.

Admire the sophisticated floor plans that showcase the entire range of communal living, from private bungalows to rows of terraced houses to high-rise buildings. Learn about the political statement behind Tiergarten’s urban landscape and how architecture was used as an exhibition during the Interbau.

Visit notable buildings such as the Eternit House by Paul Baumgarten, the Giraffe House by Gerhard Siegmann, the Hansa Library by Werner Düttmann, the Akademie der Künste am Hanseatenweg by Werner Düttmann, and the Berlin Pavillon by Hermann Fehling, Daniel Gogel, and Peter Pfankuch.
