Berlin - Hackesche Höfe, autor corno.fulgur75

(Mitte) Rosenthaler Straße The Hackesche Höfe is a notable courtyard complex situated adjacent to the Hackescher Markt. The complex consists of eight interconnected courtyards, accessed through a main arched entrance at number 40 Rosenthaler Straße. The complex was designed in the Jugendstil (Art Nouveau), and the first courtyard is adorned with a magnificent facade of polychrome glazed brick. The construction of this project follows a pattern of clear separation between residential areas, crafts, trade and culture, which distinguishes it from the backyards of the 19th-Century. Arch. Kurt Berndt and August Endell 1906-07.
