World Buildings
German Buildings : Information + Images  



We have 2 pages of German Architecture selections with links to hundreds of individual project pages. This page lists key building in the major cities. The second page (linked below in bold) lists key buildings outwith the major cities.
We aim to select projects that are either of top quality or interesting or ideally both.

We've selected what we feel are the key German Buildings, in chronological order:

Altes Museum, Berlin (1833)
Berlin Turbine building - AEG Turbine Factory (1909)
Einstein Tower, Potsdam (1924)
Chilehaus, Hamburg (1924)
National Gallery Berlin (1968)
Museum für Kunsthandwerk, Frankfurt (1985)
Jewish Museum Berlin (1995)
BMW Central Building, Leipzig (2005)
Phaeno Science Centre, Wolfsburg (2006)
Museum of Modern Literature, Marbach (2006) - Stirling Prize
BMW Welt - Event + Delivery, Munich (2007)
Mercedes-Benz Museum Building, Stuttgart (2008) - Hugo-Haring Prize
Porsche Museum Building, Stuttgart (2009)

Comments on the selection welcome. These are not selected due to their fame - we've left out the Berlin Olympic Stadium, Neues Museum, Commerzbank Tower and the Dutch Embassy Berlin - but because each in its way achieved a milestone and signified strong creative achievement.

We cover completed buildings, new building designs, architectural exhibitions and competitions across Germany.

Make sure your architectural structure is safe by reviewing the building code. You can also find advice on how to choose a contractor. There is an important building defect checklist that should be reviewed. When designed your home you want to be aware of building code regulations.
