@shadowguide.berlin: The German Red Cross presidium building from 1943. All comments glorifying the dictatorship will lead to a ban! It’s a place to discuss the architecture heritage and no place for activism! The former presidential and administrative building of the German Red Cross consists of an three-and-a-half-story main section with a central projection. Above the three entrances From the doors with the four striking lanterns reminiscent of Speer lamps rises a „Führer balcony“. Access to the balcony is from the auditorium on the second floor. Above this, until the end of the war in 1945, a modified form of the then eagle emblem of the German Red Cross was affixed to the stone slab, which can still be seen today. After the war, the central risalit was briefly crowned by an attic. The impressive representative rooms of the former German Red Cross presidential building present themselves to the viewer largely in their original condition. Of particular note here is the hall in the central section, which extends over three floors and features marble-framed pillars reflected in pilasters on the walls. #germany #ww2 #berlin #potsdam #deutschland
