Friedrichstrasse 176-179
The commercial building at Friedrichstrasse 176-179 was built in 1894 on Friedrichstrasse in Berlin in the historicist style. The floor plan came from the architect and builder Rudolf Schönner from Berlin, who was also the owner of the house.
history
On January 27, 1895, the restaurant Zum Weihenstephan was opened in the building , which was named after the tenant , the Weihenstephan State Brewery .
The house also housed the Kaiser Hotel with 110 rooms, the Kaiserkeller and the Schifferhaus , a wine restaurant in the style of an old Ratskeller, furnished according to plans by the Berlin sculptor Gotthold Riegelmann . The catering was operated by the Kaiser-Keller Aktiengesellschaft founded in 1905 . During the period of inflation , the Zum Weihenstephan restaurant and the Kaiser-Keller had to be closed around 1921. The rooms were used as shops and offices. In 1925 the Kaiser Hotel was modernized. The “Weihenstephan” inn also moved out at this time. In 1929 a German-Swiss consortium acquired the house and had the Kaiser Hotel modernized again from 1930 to 1931 .
The building was partially destroyed in the Second World War and the ruins were cleared away in the 1950s. When Friedrichstrasse was upgraded and partly rebuilt in the GDR in the 1960s, the House of Soviet Science and Culture was built on the property .
