"Allesandersplatz", Haus der Statistik, Nähe Alexanderplatz, Berlin

The Haus der Statistik is a building complex in the Berlin district Mitte in Otto-Braun-Straße 70-72 (between 1966 and 1995 Hans-Beimler-Straße), south of Karl-Marx-Allee. It was founded in 1968-1970 as the headquarters of the State Central Administration for Statistics of the GDR. After German reunification, German authorities used the buildings, which have been empty since 2008.

 

 

Until 2017, the building was owned by the Federal Republic of Germany, which wanted to demolish it and sell the site. However, the Berlin Senate was able to acquire the building complex as part of the capital city financing agreement. Together with several other initiatives and administrations, the complex will be completely renovated and will be used for a wide range of purposes.
