Within the former West Berlin reconstruction architecture, the Kranzler Eck complex with its adjoining commercial spaces occupies a special place not only in terms of architectural history but also in socio-cultural terms.

Built in 1957/58 according to plans by Hanns Dustmann and expanded in 2000 to become the Neues Kranzler Eck, the Kranzler Eck has long been established as an institution in the entire City West and continues to serve as a synonym for one of Berlin's most consumer-friendly landmarks – Kurfuerstendamm.

In close consultation with the state monument preservation authorities and the urban planning department of the Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf district, the extensive measures included the renovation, conversion and expansion of the retail and restaurant areas of the existing property from the 1950s, as well as the redesign of the respective façades and the inner courtyard area. In the course of this, various conversions and extensions carried out over the years were dismantled and an extension was built in the courtyard area.
