Summary:

Television broadcast 2 looks at one of the very few completed Expressionist projects, Erich Mendelsohn's Einstein Tower, near Potsdam, built between 1918 and 1922. It analyses Mendelsohn's working methods through letters and sketches from the Front during the First World War. As a largely symbolic, though technically competent building, the Einstein Tower achieved instant notoriety for Mendelsohn, who retained his Expressionist sketching technique as a means of drafting out his ideas throughout his career.
