Taut & Hoffmann
Taut & Hoffmann var en arkitektbyrå i Berlin grundad 1909 av Bruno Taut och Franz Hoffmann. Senare anslöt Max Taut samt ett stort antal medarbetare. Taut & Hoffmann tillhörde de mest framgångsrika byråerna under perioden och var tidvis den största byrån i Berlin. Byrån skapade en rad byggnader i Berlin som idag är byggnadsminnesmärkta. Byrån utformade bostadshus, villor, fabriker och förvaltningsbyggnader. Flera kända arkitekter var medarbetare, bland dem Wilhelm Büning, Martin Wagner, Franz Hillinger och John Martens.

The former office building of the German Traffic Union (the union of tranport workers) on Engeldamm, corner of Michaelkirchplatz in Berlin-Mitte, built 1927 to 1932 by architect Max Taut who used an earlier design by his brother Bruno Taut. The six-story skeleton structure of reinforced concrete was one of several union buildings in Berlin Max Taut constructed in the modern architectural style. After the Nazis expropriated the General Federation of German Trade Unions in 1933, the building was used by the German Labor Front (Deutsche Arbeitsfront) for the Gau Office of its "Kraft durch Freude" ("Strength through Joy") programme. Heavily damaged in WWII, the building was reconstructed from 1949 to 1951 and the originally dark wall cladding were replaced with light limestone panels. The house was then used by the GDR Free German Trade Union (FDGB) and later by serveral of its affiliate unions. After German reunification, the transport union ÖTV had its seat here. The building is landmarked.
