Historic early skyscraper, designed by architect Emil Fahrenkamp and built in 1930.

Despite the upper floors being damaged in the Battle of Berlin at the close of the war, Shell-Haus was one of Berlin’s few great edifices to survive the widespread destruction of the city relatively unscathed.

Home of DSAG (Deutsche Shell AG) for many years.

Recently restored as the headquarters of GASAG, the Berlin gas company.
