The 20-meter rooftop pool is one of the biggest in a residential building in Europe. This address is iconic not only because of its magnificent rooftop. It is also a protected landmark. It was built in 1911/12, and during the GDR times, it was housing the Railway Directorate. Some of the historical elements of those times were preserved by the Carlos Zwick architects during the extensive refurbishment in 2001 when the building was turned into residential homes. For example, the common spa area on the ground floor is built in the historical assembly hall of the Directorate. As well you find details from the past in the penthouse itself. An old wheel to pull documents and files between the different levels is still there.
