Prager Strasse was built using a modern, consistent prefabricated construction method and was thus also orientated towards international modern architecture. Flats were integrated to enliven the new pedestrian zone, while hotels, shops, restaurants and a striking cinema characterised the ensemble. Artists developed their own techniques - adapted to the industrial construction method - such as ornamental textured bricks for façades and so-called "architectural walls" for the open space design. During the tour, participants will also gain insights into other works of art and designed open spaces along Prager Strasse.
