Eger Palace

The Eger Palace was built in 1880 and 1881 on Tempelhofer Ufer 10/11 in Berlin as a Wilhelminian style villa under the master builders Wex & Knoblauch . The clients were the wealthy brothers Carl Eger (1833–1884) and Paul Eger (1845–1895), who spent 300,000 gold marks on the building. The house, consisting of a front building and a side wing, has two flats one above the other, each with 17 rooms.

Duke Friedrich von Anhalt bought the building around 1891. Over the decades, the now seven-storey building served as a tailor's workshop, as a dormitory and also as accommodation for asylum seekers and war refugees. In the course of a repair and restoration of the building beginning in January 2000, the rich design was revealed in the original lower two floors. In 2004, the successful project was awarded the first prize at the Federal Prize for Crafts in Monument Preservation Berlin. Today the house is named after its builder - Büro-Palais Eger.
