The local context

Modernist in Berlin

Our Berlin collection includes 37 buildings tagged Modernist. The city guide lets you compare these examples with other architectural themes represented in the catalogue.

One point of reference is Mies van der Rohe’s Neue Nationalgalerie. Its glass hall develops his interest in open, pillar-free space. The museum opened in 1968; its history offers a specific example of how Modernist architectural ideas shaped a public building in West Berlin.
