Announcement by the Standing Conference of the Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs (KMK): Decision on the World Heritage nominations

On 4 December 2023, the Conference of Culture Ministers passed its resolution based on the recommendation of the Advisory Board. Unfortunately, it is not in favour of our proposal. There are also no provisions in this tentative procedure. Many committed and tireless people, together with the State Monuments Office and many others from the Berlin administrations, had hoped for a positive vote in favour of the major proposal for Berlin’s post-war modernism. We very much regret that this has now not materialised. On the other hand, our second proposal, the Waldsiedlung Zehlendorf, has been approved by the Advisory Board and the Conference of Culture Ministers. Berlin will therefore have an addition to the tentative list.

65 years after the Interbau: On the road in the Hansaviertel

Info Radio Kultur 06 June 2022:

65 years ago, the International Building Exhibition Interbau opened and the Hansaviertel was presented to the world public. The redesign was based on the ideas of modernism and brought together the “Who’s Who” of the architectural scene. What can still be seen of it today?
