Deep in the heart of Potsdam, nestled in the Bornim district, stands the Wohnhaus Bonk. This unassuming single-family detached home holds a secret. It’s a hidden gem designed by the renowned architect Hans Scharoun in 1938. The Wohnhaus Bonk isn’t just a house. It’s a testament to Scharoun’s unique architectural vision. Its brick facade and hipped, tiled roof whisper tales of a time gone by. The two-story house, with its additional two roof levels, stands as a silent observer of history. Imagine the Bonk family, the original inhabitants, going about their daily lives within these walls. The children playing in the garden, the aroma of dinner wafting from the kitchen.

Today, the Wohnhaus Bonk stands as a reminder of the resilience of the human spirit and the enduring power of architecture. It’s a hidden treasure.
