The Böttcherstraße is an only about 100m short street in the centre of Bremen. It's history reaches back to medieval times, though the buildings found there today are from the early 20th century.
The name of the street derives from the main trade that resided in that street - a Böttcher is a cooper (barrel maker).
The Böttcherstraße is famous for it's unusual architecture, a result of the initiative of Ludwig Roselius, a Bremen-based coffee-trader and art patron, who charged the architect, painter and sculptor Bernhard Hoetger with the artistic supervison of redeveloping the street. The result is an unique architectural ensemble belonging to a variant of the expressionist style.

In the wee hours I'll meet you
Down by Dun Ringill
Oh, and we'll watch the old gods play
By Dun Ringill
We'll wait in stone circles
'Till the force comes through
Lines joint in faint discord
And the storm watch brews
A concert of kings
As the white sea snaps
At the heels of a soft prayer
Whispered

The expressionist Chilehaus building is a UNESCO world heritage site for its rich architecture and history. Chilehaus is one of Hamburg’s most impressive buildings. It’s the pointy eastern end, reminiscent of a ship’s bow, is what first meets the eye. Since the building’s completion in 1924, it has been a centre for international maritime trade.

Chilehaus
Hamburg
1922-24 by Fritz Höger
"Chilehaus is a ten-storey office building constructed in the Brick Expressionist style. The huge structure, which has a 5,950-square-metre footprint and offers 36,000 square metres of space, spans Fischertwiete. Its distinctive façades meet to form a prominent tip – the sharpest angle of its type in Europe – that creates the effect of an imposing ship’s prow.
The curved exterior makes the building appear light and graceful despite its size, while the bricks of the carefully crafted clinker façade shimmer in different shades depending on the weather. Chilehaus is especially impressive when it is illuminated at night, shining majestically in all its splendour." chilehaus.de

...kann wahrscheinlich niemand.
Dennoch möchte ich an dieser Stelle nochmals auf den Architekten und den Ideengeber zu diesem expressionistischen Bauwerk zu sprechen kommen.
Der Name fiel bereits bei den beiden voran gegangenen Bildern.
Wikipedia weiß dazu:
"Klarwein wurde in Warschau geboren... Als Juden wanderte die Familie wegen des wachsenden Antisemitismus in Polen und Russland ... 1905 vom Zarenreich nach Deutschland aus.
Aufgrund seiner erkennbaren künstlerischen Begabung studierte Klarwein von 1917 bis 1919 Architektur an der Technischen Hochschule München, ohne einen formalen Hochschulabschluss (als Diplom-Ingenieur) zu erwerben.
Ab 1921 arbeitete Klarwein im Architekturbüro von Fritz Höger in Hamburg, bald hatte er dort als Hauptentwurfsarchitekt eine leitende Funktion... Seiner Position als Angestellter entsprechend, wurden Klarweins Entwürfe in dieser Zeit stets unter Högers Namen veröffentlicht...
Über Ernst-Erik Pfannschmidt, einen ebenfalls angestellten Architektenkollegen Klarweins, und dessen Vater ...gelangte Höger 1928 an den Auftrag, die Kirche am Hohenzollernplatz in Berlin zu bauen. Höger hatte mit einem Plan Klarweins überzeugt, den er vertragsgemäß unter seinem Namen eingereicht hatte. Klarweins späterer Freund, der Architekt Yehudah Lavie (geb. Ernst Loewisohn), bestätigte in einem Interview, dass diese Kirche ein Entwurf Klarweins war.
...Höger, der sich den Nationalsozialisten andiente, entließ Klarwein, weil er Jude war, zum 1. Januar 1933...
1934 emigrierte Klarwein dann mit seiner nichtjüdischen Frau Elsa und seinem Sohn Mathias ins britische Mandatsgebiet Palästina, da sie in Deutschland keine Zukunft mehr sahen. Sie ließen sich in Haifa nieder. Klarwein änderte seinen Vornamen von der slawischen Namensvariante Ossip zur hebräischen Form Josseph (יוסף) In Haifa machte sich Klarwein als Architekt selbständig. Im Gegensatz zu anderen Immigranten war er gleich von Beginn an gut beschäftigt und plante und baute oft für andere Immigranten Häuser, teilweise recht anspruchsvolle Bauten, oft auf dem Karmel. Als Hochschullehrer am Technion bildete Klarwein die nächste Generation Architekten aus..."
Eine Wohltat, von dieser Wendung zum Positiven zu erfahren.
Herr Höger ist mir nicht sympatischer geworden, es mag viele wie ihn gegeben haben. Es gibt sie noch - leider.

A swan that wishes to be a Realist in an Expressionist world ... but in reality, it is equally derived.

Der Volkspark Jungfernheide wurde 1920 – 1926 auf 112 ha nach Plänen des Charlottenburger Gartendirektors Erwin Barth als axial angelegter Landschaftspark gestaltet (1800 m lang, 800 m breit).
Einer der beiden Bären (1925 von Hermann Pagels erschaffen) am Eingang zur Hauptallee am Kurt-Schumacher-Damm war seit dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkrieges verschollen. 2010 wurde ein Teilstück wiederentdeckt, nach dem der Bildhauer Vincenz Repnik aus einem elf Tonnen schweren Muschelkalkblock ein Ersatzdenkmal schuf. Seit dem 6.5.2011 konnte die klassische Eingangssituation mit beiden Bären wieder der Öffentlichkeit übergeben werden.
Der Wasserturm (38 m hoch) im Volkspark Jungfernheide , ein expressionistischer Klinkerbau (1927 von Walter Helmcke) wurde im Zweiten Weltkrieg beschädigt, blieb aber erhalten und wurde in den 1980er Jahren restauriert. Früher befand sich unten ein Restaurant, doch seit 2012 gibt es nur noch ein Café.
The Jungfernheide Volkspark was designed as an axial landscape park (1,800 m long, 800 m wide) on 112 hectares between 1920 and 1926 according to plans by the Charlottenburg garden director Erwin Barth.
One of the two bears (created by Hermann Pagels in 1925) at the entrance to the main avenue on Kurt-Schumacher-Damm had been missing since the end of the Second World War. In 2010, a section was rediscovered, after which the sculptor Vincenz Repnik created a replacement monument from an eleven-ton block of shell limestone. Since May 6, 2011, the classic entrance situation with both bears has been opened to the public again.
The water tower (38 m high) in the Volkspark Jungfernheide, an expressionist clinker brick building (1927 by Walter Helmcke) was damaged in the Second World War, but was preserved and restored in the 1980s. There used to be a restaurant downstairs, but since 2012 there has only been a café.
