Haus Vaterland (Fatherland House) was a pleasure palace on the southwest side of Potsdamer Platz in central Berlin. Preceded by Haus Potsdam, a multi-use building including a large cinema and a huge cafe, from 1928 to 1943 it was a large, famous establishment including the largest cafe in the world, a major cinema and numerous theme restaurants, promoted as a showcase of all nations. It was partially destroyed by fire in World War II, reopened in a limited form until 1953, and was finally demolished in 1976.
Haus Vaterland[edit]
Haus Potsdam became less successful during the 1920s, and in 1927 was sold to the Bank für Handel und Grundbesitz, which leased it for ten years to the Kempinski family of restaurateurs. They had an exclusive contract to provide all food and drink and to manage the business, which became their flagship.[16][17][n 2] In 1928, the building was reopened as Haus Vaterland, based on an idea by Leo Kronau, who had visited Coney Island in New York and wanted to emulate the international attractions in the amusement parks there and improve on Berlin's own imitation, Lunapark.[18] He persuaded the Kempinski family, who had a 65-year track record of success as restaurateurs in Berlin, to convert Haus Potsdam into a Haus der Nationen (house of nations), and became its first artistic director, arranging entertainment to suit the flavour of each of the gastronomic units.[19]
The architect for the conversion, Carl Stahl-Urach, the architect for Fritz Lang's Doctor Mabuse films,[n 3] modernised the exterior by applying stucco and in particular by wiring the domed section to be illuminated at night as an example of Architecture of the Night (Architektur der Nacht) or Light Architecture (Licht-Architektur)[9] which also emulated Coney Island lighting effects.[20] The lettering around the rotunda was illuminated, and approximately 4,000 bulbs arranged in intersecting arcs on the dome turned on and off to create the illusion of spinning motion. A reporter in Germania applauded the "Babylonian dome" as irrefutable evidence that "here, world-capital life is pulsing."[21] David Clay Large describes it as "a beacon of commercial kitsch".[22] Inside, the cafe was renovated and the building extended and the cinema moved to make room for a new entrance block in the centre of the building; in the rest of the space, restaurants dedicated to different countries and regions of the world were constructed.[5] Each was decorated appropriately with dioramas up to 6 metres deep,[23] panoramas, and lighting effects, and served appropriate food; it was an early example of modern theme dining or experiential gastronomy.[24] While the main shows took place in the ballroom,[25] each theme restaurant also had musicians of the appropriate origins on staff to complete the dining experience, including at least six dance bands.[26][27][n 4] A central kitchen occupied the entire top floor, connected to the different dining establishments by pneumatic tubes, through which orders came up, and dumbwaiters, by means of which food was sent down and dirty dishes sent back up; conveyor belts at kitchen level transferred the dishes to be machine washed, dried and stacked.[20] The whole was run on American-influenced principles of industrial efficiency.[28] It published a house magazine called Berolina - Latin for Berlin and most famously embodied in the statue in the Alexanderplatz.[29]
It was an enormous and popular establishment,[30] and like Haus Potsdam before it, is frequently alluded to in both artistic and tourist contexts, for example in Irmgard Keun's 1932 novel Das kunstseidene Mädchen (The Artificial Silk Girl).[14] Its combination of spectacle, variety performances, international dining and cinema was unique.[31] Large sees it as having been "a kind of proto-Disney World".[22] The building could accommodate up to 8,000 people; the 4,454 square metres of theme restaurants had a capacity of 3,500 people and Café Vaterland was the largest in the world; the one millionth guest was recorded in October 1929, barely a year after the opening.[32][33]
Third Reich and World War II[edit]
In the Nazi years, the mix of restaurants was modified and the Jewish Kempinskis had to sell the building for a pittance to "Aryans" and leave the country.[28] A 1936 French film, Les Loups entre eux (English title: The Sequel to Second Bureau), features scenes in Haus Vaterland, including "the Horst Wessel song booming from the loud-speaker".[34][35] The business continued to host throngs of customers even after Berlin began to suffer heavy bombing by the Allies. In 1943 the building was damaged, particularly in the central section, in the raid on the night of 22 November that destroyed much of the centre of the city.[36] On 2 February 1945 it was bombed out, only the walls left standing.[28]
Under occupation[edit]
After the war, Potsdamer Platz was the centre from which the four Allied occupation zones were demarcated. The ruined Haus Vaterland was in the Russian sector, but had doors to both the British and the American. In 1947, Café Vaterland was reopened in an acclaimed gesture of will to rebuild the city, and in 1948 the Communist cabaret Frischer Wind was playing there,[37] while because of its position on the sector lines, it was a hotbed of spying, flight from the East, and black marketing in currency and goods.[28][38]
Destruction[edit]
The building was finally completely burnt out on 17 June 1953, along with Erich Mendelsohn's Columbushaus, during the East German strike and protest.[39] It was then left in ruins, the windows simply being walled up. It was adjacent to the Berlin wall after its construction in 1961.[28] In 1966 Der Spiegel described the desolation of the Potsdamer Platz during those years, with birch trees growing out of the rubble of what had been the busiest traffic intersection in Europe and kestrels nesting in the ruin of Haus Vaterland and hunting rats which emerged from locked S-Bahn entrances.[40]
In 1972, the Senate of West Berlin bought the building as part of 8.5 hectares of land to build a road,[41] and had it demolished in 1976. The 600 tonnes of iron and steel were sold as scrap.[28]
Ironically, when Potsdamer Platz was rebuilt after German reunification, the site of Haus Vaterland was the only parcel on which no entertainment facility was sited, only offices, because it was felt to be too small. The building abutting the square was given a semi-circular façade in homage to the round section of the building which had once stood there.[42]
Description[edit]
Haus Vaterland promised die Welt in einem Haus - "the world in one house".[43][25] Siegfried Kracauer said, "Haus Vaterland includes the entire globe".[44] He also pointed out the contrast between the "exaggerated" New Objectivity in the style of the "immense" lobby and the "luxuriant sentimentality" of the dining establishments as little as one step away.[45] He used this example to argue that the New Objectivity was merely a façade.[46] To Franz Hessel, it was a "perfectly planned city of entertainment" which demonstrated the nascent totalitarianism of "monster Germany".[47] Sydney Clark summed it up in his guide for British tourists as a must-see because it typified Berlin:
I can think of no better way to top off a Berlin night . . . than an hour or two or three in Haus Vaterland. The place is certainly not "high hat," nor is it low hat, but it is of the very essence of Berlin.[48]
The original attractions were:
Kammerlichtspiele im Haus Vaterland[edit]
The cinema, from about 1920 renamed UFA-Haus am Potsdamer Platz, was moved and enlarged to 1,415 seats in Stahl-Urach's renovation. The auditorium was strikingly modern,[23] on a circular plan and with vibrant red carpeting and gold-painted wooden trim on the seats.[3] It was one of five Berlin cinemas Sydney Clark recommended to the American tourist in 1933 as worth seeing (the others being the Titania-Palast, the UFA-Palast am Zoo, the Primus-Palast and the Phoebus Palast).[49]
Ballroom[edit]
The ballroom, also called the Palmensaal (palm room) was under the dome, and intended as a re-creation of the Garden of Eden.[50] It was decorated with silver palm fronds and sculptures by Josef Thorak, who was to be popular during the Nazi era.[5] Jazzmeister Bill Bartholomew led the house dance band[27] and the "Vaterland-Girls" performed.[33]Grinzinger Heuriger[edit]
A re-creation of a Viennese Heuriger in Grinzing, on the third floor. The menu included Sachertorte prepared from the authentic recipe; the Kempinskis had an exclusive licence to offer it in Berlin.[51] Guests sampled the new wine looking out at the steeple of St. Stephen's cathedral against a starry sky, and a tram with interior lights lit crossed the bridge over the Danube.[45] In the Berliner Tageblatt, the Austrian writer Arnold Höllriegel declared the place to be far more genuine than the real thing.[52]
Rheinterrasse[edit]
The Rheinterrasse (Rhine terrace) on the third floor in the circular section of the building, had a diorama to give the illusion of sitting outdoors overlooking the river between Sankt Goar and the Lorelei rock. A troupe of twenty "Rhine maidens" danced between the tables under hoops twined with grape vines.[51] Hourly thunderstorms were created by lighting and sound effects; one American visitor reputedly "beam[ed] like a movie theater façade on Broadway" when told about this.[53]
Bruised? That's a new one to me, why not, "slightly damaged in transit" or "Grade 2" or "cheap"... Chefs!

See my burger reviews on my blog Burger Austin - The Best Burgers in Austin
Each year in last seven, I created special menu for my beautiful friends Ivona and Rade, for their amazing anniversary dinner party. So, this year the theme was Ex Yu ( Yugoslavia) Night- food specialty, music etc. If you do not know, Yugoslavia was my great and beautiful country until fratricidal war 24 years ago. On menu design I implement some symbols from the best days of our life- portrait of Tito ( the chief of our country from 1945 until his death 1980), his signature, Yugoslav flag, red star- symbol of partisans and typewriter font.

Looking for a new place place for a good, simple, cheap, pasta in the city has been tough. Just as well Julia happened upon a review of Solarino, and off we went!
The antipasto definitely set a high benchmark for what was to come. There was a creamy goats cheese pannacotta that literally melted in our mouths, with a nice velvet mouthfeel and a bit of a tang from the lemon zest. Also fabulous was the little rolls of pancetta with a soft Persian fetta cheese, I think. A light tangy cheese to contrast the salti pancetta. Julia like the arancini deep fried balls of rice were crunchy and light all at the same time. I also liked the sardines with the agro-dolce sweet and sour onions. Heck, I loved everuything on the wooden board, including the wooden board! :)
The radicchio salad was a nice mix of bitter crisp leaves, sweet vincotto, salty peppery Pecorino, finished with a warm nuttiness of hazelnuts. The pear was nice, but I wouldn't miss it.
Then our pastas arrived. The incredible soft pillows of gnocchi were baked with mozzarella and basil, just like a pizza in Napoli! The rich tomato sauce was a hit with everyone and we mopped it up with bread or just scooped the pan clean!
The casareccia also had a similar rich tomato sauce, but this time, there was a hint of fennel from the Sicilian pork sausages and a meatier strings of pork sarsa. The twirls or casareccia with the S-shaped cross-section held the sauce nicely.
Just for good measure, we also got a risotto to compare with our favourite minimalist risotto at Tutto Bene. Solarino's had a nice balance richness from the Tallegio cheese and saltiness from the pancetta but it was perhaps a little on the sweet side, and a little busy with the number of ingredients.
Would we be back? Heck yeah! There were also little pots of tiramisu sitting in the display out the front, along with other yummy looking pastries, that I'd be back for, not to mention the simple delicious pastas!

Vintage menu from the Golden Ox, a 300-seat Western style steakhouse, opened at 1615 L St NW in 1962. Featuring cattle longhorns on the walls, black leather padded banquettes, and waiters in string ties, the eatery was a branch of a Kansas City steakhouse chain that had begun in the 1940s. The popular restaurant stayed in business until 1982, giving way to demolition for construction of an office building.

The food on the train was very good, featuring local produce such as crocodile, water buffalo, goat, kangaroo, macadamias and bush herbs and spices (including wattle seed ice-cream).
I had the Elk Fillet with wild mushrooms in phyllo dough and red port sauce. (They were out of the gratin and biscuit.)
A young family looks at the lighted menu outside Little Italie, an Italian restaurant in Orient Village. On the right is Le Piment, the French restaurant we ate at that night. Both restaurants listed their standard fare on lighted boards but both had further (and extensive) offerings on handwritten boards, as well. You can see Little Italie's just to the right of the guy's leg.
