Germany's Elisabeth-Selbert-Haus: A Sustainable Landmark on Berlin's Unter den Linden
The German federal government is set to construct the Elisabeth-Selbert-Haus, a modern office building on the historic Boulevard Unter den Linden in Berlin-Mitte. The project, slated for completion by 2026, will span 13,000 square meters and house 200 offices. Named after politician and lawyer Elisabeth Selbert, one of the 'mothers of the Basic Law', the building aims to embody sustainability and modern art.
The Elisabeth-Selbert-Haus is designed by the architectural firm kleyer.koblitz.letzel.freivogel. The L-shaped building will feature a striking entrance at the corner, marked by a large recess, providing access to the Bundestag and the Willy-Brandt-Stiftung. The entrance hall will be generously designed, with a spiral staircase leading to all office areas. The building concept focuses on sustainability, including regenerative energy generation.
The new construction of the Elisabeth-Selbert-Haus and the Polish Embassy will transform the historic boulevard, creating two modern buildings that respect the area's rich history. The building will be erected at the intersection of Unter den Linden and Schadowstraße, completing the urban block.
With an estimated construction cost of around 90 million euros, the Elisabeth-Selbert-Haus is set to become a significant addition to Berlin-Mitte's all modern skyline. Upon completion in 2026, the building will not only provide 200 modern offices but also pay tribute to Elisabeth Selbert's legacy, contributing to the city's sustainable future.
