From 1968 to 1984, in the basement of this building the
Electronic Beat Studio
was located.
This studio was founded by Konrad Latte, director of the Berlin Baroque Orchestra, and built and managed by Swiss avant-garde composer Thomas Kessler.
Bands like Agitation Free, Tangerine Dream and Ash Ra Tempel as well as solo artists like Manuel Göttsching, Klaus Schulze und Michael Hoenig have made this music known all over the world.
