Collection

The archives contain documentation of the development of architecture since 1900, covering Expressionism, Classical Modernism and the postwar period, and increasingly the period following the reunification of Germany in 1989 – also covering major estates, such as those of Hans Scharoun, Bruno and Max Taut, the Luckhardt brothers, Martin Mächler, Hugo Häring, Werner Düttmann, Hermann Henselmann or the architecture critic Julius Posener. The most recent acquisition, the personal archives of Adolf Behne, is also among archival records from the most famous German architects, civil engineers and landscape designers alive today.
