The Capitol cinema at Zoo, the Haus des Rundfunks and her house and studio in Westend: The sculptor and architect Marlene Poelzig (1894-1985) showed her creative power in these three buildings in Charlottenburg. In the 1920s she helped shape Berlin as a testing ground for Neue Sachlichkeit and Expressionism, and with the joint architectural studio with Hans Poelzig.
Her artistic development could not be continued in Nazi-era Berlin. Her contemporary recognition was also marginalised in the architectural historiography of the post-war period. In protest against the threatened demolition of the villa in Westend, the initiative Haus Marlene Poelzig was founded in 2020 and reignited the discourse about her work.
