history
The five- and two-storey corner building Geschwister-Scholl-Strasse 3/5 and 7 and Mecklenburgstrasse 59 from 1929 based on plans by Hans Stoffers (Schwerin), as a residential and commercial building, forms a stylistic unit in the style of New Objectivity (Bauhaus style). The round corner design is distinctive. The outdoor lights from this period are remarkable.
At times the general local health insurance company Schwerin (AOK), the Soviet secret service and the state security of the GDR in Schwerin were in the building.
Today there is u. a.
- after 1994 the house for politics, economy and culture of the Academy Schwerin eV with a conference center (Mecklenburgstraße 59)
- the housing company Schwerin (WGS), which manages around 10.00 apartments (Geschwister-Scholl-Straße 3–5)
In Schwerin there are only a few other buildings of this style like u. a. the doll's house or the Commerzbank branch (Schloßstraße 32/34) by Paul Nehls , the former trading house Thams & Garfs (Helenenstraße 3) by Erich Bentrup , the building at Schloßstraße 39 ( Sparkasse Schwerin ), the Capitol ( Wismarsche Straße 123) by Erich Bentrup and Hellmuth Ehrich and various residential buildings on Obotritenring and Güstrower Straße 19 as well as the Hamann building of the Werder Clinic .
