Göhrener egg
A building ensemble in the Berlin district of Prenzlauer Berg in the Pankow district is called Göhrener Ei . It is located in the Helmholtzkiez and is a square-like, oblong, semicircular and closed bulge in the bend of Göhrener Straße. The street has been named after the Baltic resort of Göhren since June 1, 1910 , until then it was known as street no. 13e.
The ensemble, consisting mainly of residential buildings, was built from 1909 to 1913 in the Art Nouveau style. The Elias parish hall, built by Otto Werner between 1926 and 1928, forms the end of the front . The facades of his courtyard are overgrown with wine and decorated with ornaments influenced by Expressionism . Its domed hall was originally designed as a theater and concert hall.
After the Second World War , the building was requisitioned by the Soviet military administration . In 1945 and 1946, the editorial staff of the Daily Rundschau was housed there. From 1947 to 1952 the parish hall, along with the adjoining houses on Göhrener Strasse, was confiscated by Soviet authorities. The dome hall now serves as a church service room for the congregation after the nearby Eliaskirche was converted into a children's and youth museum in 2003. The Göhrener Ei ensemble with the parish hall and houses on Raumerstraße and Senefelderstraße is a listed building .
