List of works by Erich Mendelsohn

List of works by the German architect Erich Mendelsohn.

*Workers' colony for the Builders' Union in Luckenwalde (1919-1920)
*Garden pavilion of the Herrmann family, Luckenwalde (1920)
*Work hall of the Herrmann hat factory, Luckenwalde (1919-1920)
*Conversion of the administration building of the "Hausleben" insurance company, Berlin (1920)
*Einsteinturm (Observatory on the Telegraphenberg) in Potsdam, 1917 or 1920-1921 "(building), 1921-1924 (technical equipment)." The building, its expressionistic form giving the impression of concrete as a building material, was mostly built in brick and then covered with plaster. Mendelsohn explained this was because of delivery problems; however, it is presumed that the real reason for the choice of building materials was problems with constructing the casing.
*Double villa on Karolingerplatz, Berlin (1921-1922)
*Steinberg hat factory, Herrmann & Co, Luckenwalde (1921-1923) with a strict, angular form
*Mossehaus, conversion of the offices and press of Rudolf Mosse, Berlin (1921-1923)

*Cottage of Dr. Bejach, Berlin-Steinstücken (1926-1927)
*Schocken department store, Stuttgart (1926-1928). The department store, together with the Tagblatt-Turm (1924-1928) of Ernst-Otto Oßwald across the way, constituted an impressive ensemble of modern architecture, and was damaged only lightly in World War II. In 1960, the city Stuttgart demolished both, despite international protest. In its place today stands Egon Eiermann's unremarkable department store building (Galeria Kaufhof, previously Horten).
