Nicolai Quarter: History of Berlin's City Center
Around 1230 the Nikolai Church took shape first as a basilica built in the form of a fortress. You can see it here clearly: the massive and monumental westwork, with its ashlar masonry made of fieldstones dominates the church yard up until today. In the years leading up to 1490, St. Nikolai was transformed into a Gothic hall church. Since then it has been one of the many examples of the flourishing brick architecture in this region. The two twin towers so prominently emerging from the Berlin skyline were added only in the 19th century. In 1938, the church was deconsecrated and now, an exhibition about its history is being shown in its rooms.
Wilhelm Strasse - The Center of Power
Built in 1730, Wilhelm Strasse was originally home to the palatial residences of Berlin’s aristocracy. However, in the 19th century the street was transformed into a location with several state institutions. For example the Kingdom of Prussia established an increasing number of administrative and government offices in the palaces and in 1871, after the German empire was founded, various state ministries moved in as well. The Reich Chancellor’s flat and chancellery were both located in the former Radziwill Palace. The street had developed into a government quarter.
This tradition continued during the Weimar Republic – indeed, Wilhelmstraße was now the centre of power. After the collapse of the monarchy in 1918, the Berlin city palace had lost its function as the residence of the German emperor. The new head of state, the Reich President, moved to Wilhelmstraße 73 into the Schwerin Palace – which stood approximately where you are now. Paul von Hindenburg held the position of the president starting in 1925. In January, 1933, he appointed Hitler Reich Chancellor and was responsible soon after for the undermining of the Weimar constitution with the emergency decree he issued after the Reichstag fire.
Görings Ministery of Aviation
The first large new government building erected by the National Socialists was the Reich Ministry of Aviation in front of you. The architect Ernst Sagebiel created this monumental structure with around 2,000 offices in 1935/36. The short construction period was used for propaganda purposes to put the new system on display. The building complex, structured around several courtyards with 56,000 m² of usable space, used both reinforced concrete and steel frame construction. A striking structural feature was the matching rows of windows, which extended with sharp edges from the smooth shell limestone facade, giving the building an objective and functional aesthetic. The Nazistate as commissioner made sure to present themselves: two stately Reich eagles framed the entrance to the courtyard and the facade was also decorated with swastikas. Other reliefs showed military symbols such as the Iron Cross as well as the Pour le mérite, the highest German order of merit. This was an allusion to the head of the house, Hermann Göring.
Hitler’s New Reich Chancellery
The most prestigious building of the Nazi state once stood here along the northern side of Voßstraße street – Hitler’s New Reich Chancellery. He had toyed with the idea of building a new official residence since 1934. One year later he personally selected its location and the Reich began to purchase the properties.
