The Haus des Rundfunks remained largely undamaged during the Second World War due to some ingenious methods to disguise its position from Allied bombers. The transmitting studios radiate from the entrance hall and are enclosed within the offices. The iconic ‘D’ shaped structure of the Haus des Rundfunks was designed by architect Hans Poelzig and built in 1929-31, using dark, shiny, clinker bricks. Radio and television history are intimately connected with Berlin and the original broadcasting building is the vast and imposing ‘Haus des Rundfunks’ (Broadcasting House) on Masurenallee, opposite the Funkturm (radio tower). Of course, the tower block is only one part of the huge RBB complex. For a feel of the place, just follow this link for a video clip.
On weekdays, live programmes are broadcast from the Dachlounge between 7pm and 9pm – on these evenings you are advised to make a reservation for dinner. You can go there for a meal or just call in for a coffee or cocktail. The opening hours are midday until midnight, seven days a week. Inside the Dachlounge (Radioeins Rooflounge) Radio Eins is a radio station aimed at the over 25 age group and features plenty of timeless pop music as well as current hits, so the Dachlounge atmosphere is smooth rather than edgy. The interior of the Dachlounge has a modern, loft-style feel to it, with orange and dark grey décor and full-length panoramic windows. Large company meetings apparently now take place in the RBB offices in Potsdam (which you can just about see in the distance from the roof terrace). Inside, the RBB conference area has become a bar, a restaurant, a lounge and a studio – all in one space. Views in every direction from the Radioeins Rooflounge Last week, we were treated to a torrential downpour, followed by sunshine and a spectacular rainbow over Berlin. There’s seating there as well and, in fair weather, a shed serving drinks and freshly-barbecued snacks. Then simply walk straight outside on to the terrace to enjoy the fabulous 360° views.
