The 5 Mp panel construction was developed for the city of Leipzig under Boehme's direction. From 1963 to 1966, 4-storey prefabricated buildings with a hipped roof were built in the Leipzig- Sellerhausen WK . From 1966, Erich Böhme built the 8-10-storey prefabricated buildings on Leipzig's Johannisplatz together with Eduard Regula and Martin Winkler .

From 1968 to 1971 Erich Böhme developed the “Leipzig” variant of the apartment type P2 / 11 together with Thomas Oechelhäuser . The residential complex on Straße des 18. Oktober was thus created with many architectural details:

Loggias with colored glass balustrades , ceramic mosaics , concrete structures on the gables, concrete form elements set accents in front of the distribution corridors. The variant "Leipzig" of the apartment type P2 / 11 was not only used from 1968/1971 in the housing units in Leipziger Strasse on October 18. Also in the residential complex "JR Becher" in Lößnig 1971 was variant "Leipzig" of the apartment type P2 / 11 worked. From 1971 to 1975, the Lößnig new building area was built east of Zwickauer Strasse with 3,082 apartments in exclusively eleven-story apartment blocks (→  prefabricated buildings in Leipzig ).

To round off the Astoria complex on the northern edge of Leipzig city center, 10-storey residential buildings of the central aisle type were built in 5-MP transverse wall construction with 275 residential units for boarding school use, and 320 residential units on the east side of Gerberstrasse. The residential buildings at Gerberstrasse 16 / Kurt-Schumacher-Strasse show a new facade structure, which is largely determined by vertically offset concrete structural elements by Harry Müller .

rating

The art historian Christoph Glorius assessed Erich Böhme's work as follows:

"Even if Erich Boehme's work lacks a personal signature, his many years of work in Leipzig housing construction could embody an exemplary GDR career that is characterized by straightforwardness and an effort to translate the demands of the time into solid architectural solutions."
