You're standing at the Einstein Tower, on top of the Telegrafenberg in Potsdam. Take a good look at those unusual shapes. Architect Erich Mendelsohn designed this as one of his first major projects, and it became his best-known building. It's one of the most famous examples of Expressionist architecture in Germany.
