Wernerwerk-Hochhaus

The Wernerwerk Tower in Berlin's Siemensstadt is a landmark-protected office building constructed between 1928 and 1930 in the New Objectivity style. Designed by Hans Hertlein and Gerhard Mensch, it originally housed the administration of the Siemens plant, along with a library and a casino. The clinker-brick facade of the complex, which rises up to twelve stories, is articulated by rows of windows arranged in a stepped pattern, while a central tower with an asymmetrically placed clock defines the silhouette. Serving as the eastern gateway to Siemensstadt in terms of urban planning, the building is regarded today as an architectural example of interwar factory construction.
