history

Front building Derfflingerstraße 21

The former tenement house, front building with side wing, was built in 1876 according to the design of the client and master carpenter Stieber. The building complex, which extends deep into the interior of the block on the rear site with side wings and transverse buildings, was built in 1905 by the architects Breslauer & Salinger for the doctor Ernst Unger as a five-story private clinic. After the Jewish professor was banned from practicing his profession by the National Socialists , the Nazi women began to use the house in 1936. For this purpose, the architect Böttcher redesigned the front building with rows of windows and French windows in line with the National Socialist architectural concept. After the war, the Moabit hospital moved in . In 1990 the Unger house was converted into a student residence. It is now a listed building .

Haus Unger is divided into two separate but directly adjacent buildings, each with five floors. The student dormitories are located in the front building. In the angled rear building are the floors with the dormitory rooms and the Mole day care center on the ground floor.
