Landhaus Lemke, <strong>Berlin</strong>, 1932-1933<br />
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe<br />
Mies van der Rohe’s last active year in<br />
Germany was in 1938, before which<br />
he had worked on several courtyard<br />
houses amongst other things. The<br />
country house for Karl Lemke is one of<br />
two house projects that were completed<br />
in this period. The country house sits<br />
flush on its terrace area as an L-shaped<br />
structure: all the openings are glazed at<br />
wall height. The individual wellproportioned<br />
rooms are linked to each<br />
other by room-height doors. The draft<br />
for the original garden design stems<br />
from Hermann Mattern. The small<br />
country house with an area of 1,722<br />
square feet and a view of the Obersee<br />
lake was degraded to form a motor<br />
vehicle workshop after the war. It was<br />
later used by the state security service<br />
again and, following the reunification of<br />
Germany, it was turned into a municipal<br />
gallery. Although the building has been<br />
greatly transformed over the years, it<br />
has been a listed building since 1977.<br />
The house is presently being renovated.
