Das Haus der Kulturen der Welt : built for International Building Exhibition in 1957

The Hansaviertel is a small district (the smallest among Berlin’s 95 Ortsteile) between Großer Tiergarten park and the Spree River, within the central Mitte borough of Berlin. It was almost completely destroyed during World War II, but was rebuilt from 1957 to 1961 as a housing estate project by international master architects like Alvar Aalto, Egon Eiermann, Walter Gropius, Oscar Niemeyer, Sep Ruf etc., called Interbau. The whole ensemble, including two churches (St. Ansgar and Kaiser-Friedrich-Gedächtniskirche), is now protected as a historic monument.

Some Gründerzeit buildings remained north of the Stadtbahn railway. The Altonaer Straße, named after Altona, leads to the Victory Column. Schloss Bellevue, the residence of the German President is nearby.

Hansaplatz square was an active plaza before the war. Students from the Bauhaus in Dessau are actively trying to reclaim this Plaza as a community space.
