Along the U8 - A big city is emerging

Agility means a basic motive of modern city life. Berlin's development into a modern city could not begin until 1920. Beyond utopian architect-avant-garde glass house designs, a technical everyday organism already provided the real basis for simplifying public life: the underground 8-line color system incorporates cutting-edge understanding of information. Above ground are found along this line idiosyncratic buildings of various architects of a generation like Heinrich Tessenow, Clemens Holzmeister, Peter Behrens or Max Taut, which connects a new city axis similar to the Wedding on Mitte with Kreuzberg. Her designs for pastoral care, hygiene, administration and representation defined a contemporary responsibility for the growing spaces of the community.
