Das Hansaviertel
Interbau 1957 - an exhibition of superlatives. Experimental and innovative, modern and the highest levle of quality, this is where a residential area were created. The idea of new construction emerges.
The
Hansaviertel has originally been used as an exhibition area for contemporary
residential architecture during Interbau in the heart of Western Berlin. It
has become a popular quarter for living. In competition to East Berlin’s
prestigious Stalinallee, it was the declared goal to develop a surrounding of
highest quality while considering social aspects. The guidelines followed
were inspired by the Weimarer Republic’s societal demands: balconies,
accessible rooftops, green surroundings, air and light, modern building
technology.
The involved planners were international: The Grand Master Otto Bartning was responsible for the general planning, the most renown architects from all around the world developed high and low rises.
