What many don't know, however, is that the Stralau church tower is said to have already been leaning in 1934. Be that as it may, today it leans 1.1 degrees more than its Italian "colleague," without having achieved the same notoriety.

There are places where the city suddenly becomes very quiet—not still, but quiet. The Osthafen is one of them. Here, where the rattling of cranes and the clinking of bottles once set the pace, today only the light dances on the Spree. The waterfront promenade is wide and surprisingly empty. No cars, no jostling. Just footsteps on pavement, voices in the wind, and the shimmering water that draws your gaze out—right onto him: the Molecule Man. Three hole-ridden giants wrestling with each other in the middle of the Spree—or embracing, depending on how you started your day. They stand there like a thought that has taken on a life of its own. Like a metal sketch that someone in the middle of the city wanted to finish dreaming. And as you look at them, their shattered image is reflected in the water—a play of light, hole, and line. To the right, the cool clarity of the Treptower Towers; to the left, old Berlin, still reeks of warehouses and workers' canteens, even though media companies now reside here. The place is a balancing act between yesterday and tomorrow. Between the romantic harbor and glossy glass. In between, you sit on a bench and let the wind tell you stories. And sometimes – when the clouds hang low or the sun is slanting – you almost think the three aluminum figures have a secret. As if they know more about this city than they're letting on.

February 4, 2025, Max-Taut-Schule

In 1927, Berlin planned the largest school (or at least the largest school complex) in Germany. The vacant site at what is now Nöldnerplatz was to house three different types of school: a vocational school for metalworkers, a middle and elementary school and the Oberlyzeum, a high school for girls. The architect Max Taut was chosen. Max Taut's design for the school complex convinced the jury at the time with its functional objectivity. He used reinforced concrete as a structural element for the clearly structured alternation of windows and pillars, and filled the spaces in between with yellow and red clinker bricks. Forming an arch over 500 m long, the school building follows the course of Schlichtallee and Fischerstraße. All functions and tasks of the building sections are precisely coordinated with one another. The three schools are independent institutions, but have access to shared facilities: the central auditorium for 1,100 people, gymnasiums, an aquarium and a cinema. Taut was not able to realize all of his ideas. After construction began in 1929, the global economic crisis halted the extensive work for months. It was not completed until 1932, but for cost reasons only with two gymnasiums instead of the seven planned. The school complex was hit by bombs in the Second World War, and the large auditorium was destroyed. After the end of the war, the upper lyceum remained damaged for decades. The Kant-EOS, which moved into the building during the GDR era, was never able to use this part of the building. Between 2002 and 2007, the EU and the state of Berlin provided funds for a comprehensive renovation in a joint project. The architect Max Dudler was responsible for the renovation. The auditorium has since been restored to its former glory. And not just as a monument: the complex is still a school today. As the upper secondary school center for "Building-Environment-Technology", it has also borne the name of its famous architect since 1997: Max Taut School.
