Summary

Description
Deutsch: Das Hermann-Schlimme-Haus in der Wallstraße 61-65, Ecke Inselstraße (links), in Berlin-Mitte. Der Kernbau entstand 1922-1923 nach einem Entwurf von Max Taut und Franz Hoffmann als Verwaltungsbau für den Allgemeinen Deutschen Gewerkschaftsbund. Es war einer der ersten modernen Bauten, bei denen die Rahmenkonstruktion zu einem zentralen Gestaltungsmittel wurde. Das Gebäude wurde 1930-1932 von Walter Würzbach zwischen Wallstraße und Märkischem Ufer verlängert. 1933 übernahm die Deutsche Arbeitsfront das Haus; von 1945 bis 1990 residierte hier der Berliner Bezirksvorstand des Freien Deutschen Gewerkschaftsbundes. Heute wird es als Büro- und Geschäftshaus von mehreren Firmen genutzt. Außerdem befindet sich hier die Botschaft der Republik Kosovo. Das Gebäude ist als Baudenkmal gelistet.
English: The Hermann Schlimme House at Wallstraße No. 61-65, corner of Inselstraße (on the left) in Berlin-Mitte. The main building was constructed from 1922 to 1923 to a design by Max Taut and Franz Hoffmann as office building for the General Federation of German Trade Unions. It was one of the first modern buildings which used its frame construction as main design component. From 1930 to 1932, the building was expanded by architect Walter Würzbach along Wallstraße and Märkisches Ufer. In 1933, it was taken over by the National Socialists for their German Labor Front. From 1945 to 1990, it was seat of the Berlin branch of the Free German Trade Union Federation (FDGB). The building is now used as office and commercial building by several companies. It is also seat of the embassy of the Republic of Kosovo. The building has been designated as historic landmark.
