LONG LIVE URANIA!


The highrise at Urania 4-10 – property of the State of Berlin and a building by Werner Düttmann – was demolished in the summer of 2024. One year before, we founded the initiative an.ders Urania to urge for the preservation of the building.

The Building Council and the Round Table for Real Estate Policy had advocated examining the reuse of the building with a feasibility study, but neither the Senate nor the BIM were commissioning this study.

As architects, structural engineers, urban planners, ... we got together and proposed a feasibility study - from below! Together we proved that this building could have been tranformed instead of being demolished.

DEMONSTRATION

Saturday 23 March 2024 - 3pm | an der Urania 4-10, 10787 Berlin (Maplink)

as part of the civil organisation an.ders Urania we call for the immediate cancelation of the planned demolition of the building An Der Urania 4-10.

Berlin will not achieve its climate goals if the emissions caused by the construction sector are not drastically minimised. Nevertheless, demolitions and the construction of new buildings still prevail over the preservation of existing buildings.

We have been fighting for months to preserve the high-rise building Urania 4-10, which belongs to the state of Berlin. Yet bulldozers have been ordered to start the demolition in April. Together with a broad alliance, we renew our call on the Senate: Stop this demolition immediately! Preserve the highrise Urania 4-10! Turn it into a model project for conversion! As long as the structure stands, it is still possible to stop the demolition!
