Flower Tower
Vertical garden on the facade in Berlin-Marzahn-Hellersdorf
The "Flower Tower", currently the highest work of facade art in Europe, proves that prefabricated buildings can also be colourful. The French street art group "CitéCréation" designed the façade and ground floor with landscape motifs from all over the world. The inspiration for the artistic design came from the green surroundings and the "Gärten der Welt" in the district Marzahn. In addition, the building has a glass tower, which opens the view to the sky.
The Flower Tower is an exceptional example of urban greening and forward-thinking architecture. The residential tower block on Kosmonauts’ Avenue is visible from a great distance. Not because of its height, but because of its bright green façade, made up of hundreds of planters that frame the building from top to bottom.
Architecture meets nature
The Flower Tower exemplifies a new fusion of living, nature and the city. Its planted balconies are designed to remain green all year round and act as a natural screen and sunshade. The plants filter particulate matter, improve air quality and promote biodiversity in the heart of East Berlin.
The building is a popular destination for architecture enthusiasts, students and environmentalists who want to experience modern urban development at first hand. The Tower bursts into lush greenery, particularly in spring and summer.
Neighbourhood tip
A stroll along Allee der Kosmonauten takes you on to the Gardens of the World or to the neighbouring Eichepark, the ideal place to experience nature and urban architecture in a state of flux.
