The municipal housing company WBM Wohnungsbaugesellschaft Berlin-Mitte plans the turnkey construction of two residential buildings with 86 residential units including basement, areas for commercial units on the ground floor, as well as the outdoor facilities at Bernauer Straße 26 / 34 in Berlin-Mitte. The properties are located in the area of the former Wall strip and thus in the middle of the partly already built memorial landscape along Bernauer Straße to commemorate the Berlin Wall. The design emerges from the precise specifications of the development plan and was developed in landscape architecture and architecture from the design statutes that apply in the listed area of Bernauer Strasse. Due to the location, evidence of the border fortifications is to be expected during the ground interventions, such as remains of the escape tunnels from the time of the divided Berlin.
