Text description provided by the architects. Since 1981, Schaubühne Berlin has been housed on Lehniner Platz. The building, with its distinctive rounded façade, was erected as part of architect Erich Mendelsohn’s “WOGA- Complex” in 1928. After a lively, 90 - year long history seeing a variety of uses and numerous conversions, in the spring of 2018 the reception area of the now listed building underwent a redesign and expansion: following plans by Barkow Leibinger, a generous new box office has been created on the site of the former “Universum Lounge”. The ticket booth that previously occupied the foyer has been opened up bringing a bar to the reception area.
