Kranzlereck - Helmut Jahn


In Kurfurstendamm, we came across a number of unique buildings, and one which stood out from the rest was definitely the Kranzlereck (Kurfurstendamm 18-21). the sharpness at the wedge shaped definitely caught the wandering eyes.

the curious thing was that the most outstanding part of the building did not serve a specific function, like a decorative architectural feature. not very German, the thought crossed my mind...

the building was designed by Helmut Jahn, a German architect, studied under Mies Van de Rohe, and later settled in Chicago in the 60s.
