A man of concrete
Max Paul Eduard Berg (born April 17, 1870 in Stettin, died January 22, 1947 in Baden-Baden). He was fascinated by Gothic, inspired by expressionism, but his most famous projects are classic examples of modernism.
As an urban planner, he proposed dividing the city into zones according to their functions.
