Location and history

There is a memorial plaque for the trade unionist Theodor Leipart on this house

The House of Psychology is located at Am Köllnischen Park 2 in a traditional Berlin building complex. The building was constructed in 1913 by the Berlin architects Paul Imberg and Walter Croner and inaugurated the same year. Until 1933 it was the seat of the trade union building of the German Woodworkers' Association . The original construction plans still exist from this time. In 1933 it was confiscated by the National Socialist rulers and used by the German Labor Front (DAF), which existed as a national socialist union of workers and employers until the end of the war in 1945.

After the Second World War , the Free German Trade Union Federation (FDGB) of the GDR took over the house. Then it became the seat of the trade union trade, banks and insurance companies of the Berlin district, which in 2001 was merged into the United Service Union (ver.di). Today the building is a listed building, was refurbished and in 2010 renamed "House of Psychology". The Berlin School of Psychology is the owner and center of the building .
