Together with the other buildings at the Ernst-Reuter-Platz transport hub, the sculptural, cubic high-rise forms a significant, listed urban ensemble for Berlin, but is not itself classified as an individual monument. This means that the building could theoretically have been given a completely new appearance. However, the architects made a conscious decision to preserve the architectural language of the 1970s, which is so important for Berlin, especially in this location.


Now the building, precisely and clearly emphasised, can once again assume its important urban role in the overall ensemble of Ernst-Reuter-Platz and, together with the former Telefunken high-rise opposite to the north, forms the prelude to Bismarckstrasse leading to the west.
