Living in a historical place

Lindencorso at the heart of Berlin’s historic centre can look back on a long history.

On 13 October 1877,

the Viennese Mathias Bauer opened Café Bauer on the corner of Unter den Linden and Friedrichstraße. As one of the first Viennese coffee houses, it was one of the most modern buildings in the centre of Berlin. In addition to a large room on the ground floor, the café also featured a billiard room and, most notably, a separate ladies’ room. The luxurious furnishings also included numerous murals, including the six-part cycle “The Roman Life” by Anton von Werner framed by stuccoes by the Berlin sculptor Otto Lessing, “Roman Landscapes” by Christian Wilberg and his students, and other paintings by Albert Hertel. From the very beginning, the coffee house’s service was legendary: 800 daily newspapers from all over Europe were available for guests to read.

In 1884,

Café Bauer was the first café to offer its guests electric light: a genuine advance over the usual murky gas or candlelight. The necessary electricity was supplied by a small power station in the building’s basement.

In 1910,

Mathias Bauer’s heirs sold the building to the later Kempinski AG. Until its destruction in World War II, the café was one of Berlin’s most popular venues.

1961

The first plans to reconstruct the destroyed street corner of Friedrichstraße and Unter den Linden date back to 1961. Originally, the East Berlin Magistrate wanted to convert Friedrichstraße into a 60-metre-wide pedestrian zone. An architectural collective led by Werner Strassenmeier then designed a five-storey restaurant and office complex with terraces in the pedestrian area in front of it.

In 1966,

the HO restaurant Lindencorso opened after two years of construction. Featuring a dance bar, a night bar and a concert café, Lindencorso quickly developed into one of the most popular attractions of the former capital of East Germany.

In 1993,

the old HO restaurant was demolished. The reconstruction of the historic streetscape at the intersection of Friedrichstraße and Unter den Linden began under the aegis of the former Senate Building Director Hans Stimmann.

Between 1994 and 1997

A new building was constructed according to designs by Professor Christoph Mäckler between 1994 and 1997. Its facade was one of very few in Germany to be made of natural stone using traditional methods. Elmkalkstein (limestone from the Elm) was used as a material.

In the meantime,

the district around Gendarmenmarkt, Friedrichstraße, Unter den Linden and Pariser Platz has once again become the international centre of the capital city. And the new Lindencorso building is one of the prime addresses in Berlin’s business centre.
