Description: The "Mosse House" at Schützenstraße No. 18-25, corner of Jerusalemer Straße (on the left) in Berlin-Mitte. The building occupies a large part of the block on Schützenstraße between Markgrafenstraße and Jerusalemer Straße. It was built 1901 to 1903 by architects Wilhelm Cremer and Richard Wolffenstein for publisher Rudolf Mosse. It was altered in the 1920s by Erich Mendelsohn who famously designed the curved corner. This is the only surviving example of the pre-war publishing and newspaper buildings in this quarter of the city. The building was heavily damaged in WWII and its contemporary outlook is the result of a reconstruction undertaken in the 1990s. The wing along Schützenstraße is the only originally preserved part of the complex. Parts of the building are integrated into the "Mosse Center", the seat of numerous media firms. The corner segment is the seat of the German branch of the French mineral oil company Total. The building complex has been designated a historic landmark.
