Architectural context

About Abteilung Aufbau des Magistrats

Abteilung Aufbau des Magistrats (Construction Department of the Magistrate) was the East Berlin municipal planning authority responsible for post-war reconstruction. The catalogue features the Heizkraftwerk Rüdersdorfer Straße — a combined heat and power plant that blends Stalinist and Socialist Classicist architectural vocabulary with industrial function, reflecting the ideological weight placed on even utilitarian infrastructure in the early German Democratic Republic.
