Conception and creation
The Schützenstrasse district was built between 1994 and 1998. The architect Aldo Rossi worked with the architectural offices Bellmann & Böhm and Luca Meda to create it . The master plan was based on the pre-war development. Taking up the traditional design, i.e. the old plot structure and eaves height , corresponded to the specifications of the Senate Building Director Hans Stimmann . The complex has four courtyards, including an octagonal one , and was built on a wasteland of the Berlin Wall . Listed remains of a house on Schützenstrasse and an apartment building were integrated into the facade . The facade of the tenement house was restored in the style of the Italian Neo-Renaissance . The facade of the building at Schützenstrasse 8 was a shortened, true-to-original image of Michelangelo's courtyard facade of the Palazzo Farnese in Rome .
