摘要

Built on the premises of the former NSDAP headquarters, the Documentation Center for the History of National Socialism is a fragmentary reminder of the earlier urban-architectural situation between Koenigsplatz and Karolinenplatz without reviving, however, the once symmetrical arrangement of buildings on both sides of Brienner Strasse. On the contrary: rebuilding on the premises of the "Brown House" adds an asymmetrical accent to the square's axial layout and will thus succeed in detaching itself from the existing topography which is characterized, even today, by the marks left by the Nazis and their reconstruction measures. The Documentation Center for the History of National Socialism will thus become, as it were, a new public location permitting a detached view of the historically burdened environment that consciously presents the square's composition, originally designed for an axial perspective, from a different viewing angle.
