In 1932, the manufacturer couple Martha and Karl Lemke bought a two-storey property on the street with access to the Obersee [de].
The furnishings are partly from the studio of Mies van der Rohe or were designed by his partner Lilly Reich.
As the house had visibly decayed by then, the first renovation work began in the 1980s, but without any notable success, as the funds made available were insufficient.
In 1990, the district of Alt-Hohenschönhausen took over the property and house from the Ministry and officially renamed it Mies van der Rohe Haus.
Today, the house serves as an exhibition pavilion for modern art and attracts the lovers of Mies van der Rohe's architecture.
