I've been enchanted by this building since first craning my neck to get a look at it as we weaved through the surrounding road spaghetti making our way out west to the forest. Recently given Denkmalschutz - listed building status. Preparations for the renovation are now underway.

I visited a few times and have some nice shots in romantic morning light, but as I made this selection it became very obvious that it's preferred weather conditions are a flat grey sky.

I read that it is affectionately  called Panzerkreuzer [Battleship] Charlottenburg. Seems appropriate.
