The curved, terrace-like facade of the Shell-Haus on the Landwehrkanal comes into view, one of the most striking office buildings of the Weimar Republic. Architect Emil Fahrenkamp designed the steel-frame structure, built between 1930 and 1932, as headquarters for Rhenania-Ossag Mineralölwerke AG, the German subsidiary of Shell. The wave-shaped, upward-stepping facade with its continuous ribbon windows was considered a technical and design innovation and remains one of the most significant examples of Neue Sachlichkeit architecture in Berlin. The building survived wartime damage largely intact and is now a protected landmark.
