In 1910 Peter Behrens won the tender for the construction of an administration building of Mannesmannröhren-Werke AG. Behrens, in whose Berlin office Walter Gropius, Mies van der Rohe, and Le Corbusier collaborated, had presented a draft that, although still attributable to reform architecture, already anticipated the New objectivity trend. Since the mid-1950s, the building, which is also known as Behrensbau, is flanked by another architectural highlight, the Mannesmann skyscraper.
