The Berlin architectural office von der Hude & Hennicke existed from 1860 to March 1892 when the architects Hermann von der Hude and Julius Hennicke founded .

The company was diverse and flexible in the type of construction work. This resulted in residential buildings and villas, especially in the Großer Tiergarten , commercial buildings and hotel buildings, including Berlin's first luxury hotel in 1873–75, the Hotel Kaiserhof on Wilhelmplatz , which burned down shortly after it opened and was reopened in 1876 after being rebuilt. The Lessingtheater at Friedrich-Karl-Ufer 1 (since 1951 Kapelle-Ufer ) was the first new theater to be built in Berlin in over twenty years in 1888 and thus received corresponding attention. Julius Hennicke's study trip in 1865 through various European countries to study metropolitan slaughterhouses , the resulting publication Report on slaughterhouses and cattle markets in Germany, France, Belgium, Italy, England and Switzerland as well as the designs for the slaughterhouse and cattle yard in Berlin (not executed) and the slaughterhouse in Budapest also show interest in the more mundane aspects of urban planning in the 19th century. Another publication by Hennicke in 1881, Mittheilungen über Markthallen in Germany, England, France, Belgium and Italy , also deals with buildings for the supply of food in large cities.

The two partners came through their training at the Berlin Bauakademie and their teachers Ludwig Persius and Friedrich August Stüler from the Schinkel School . Some buildings like the destroyed Villa Markwald or the villa of Julius Hennicke, which was also destroyed, show this clearly. However, they turned to newer currents and thus to the diverse forms of historicism , which they prefer to use virtuoso in representative buildings. For example, the architects used Neo-Renaissance forms for the facade of the Lessing Theater , but neo-Rococo for the auditorium.

Many of the architecture's buildings, including the large representative buildings such as the Hotel Kaiserhof, the Central Hotel and the Lessing Theater, were destroyed in the Second World War and then demolished. The former department store for the army and navy at Neustädtische Kirchstrasse 4/5, which served as the American embassy until May 2008, has been preserved.
