The building must be the Amt für Fremdenverkehr on the Runder Platz. It was situated were today the Staatsbibliothek stands
Kindly regards from Belgium

When the architectural model of the new square was built, that building on the left to Haus des Deutschen Fremdenverkehrs, had a large advertisement for a 1938 movie Kampf um den Himalaya. It was planned to be an UFA cinema.
Although I think I see it spelled as Himalaje?

This landmark is amazing but I am not familiar with the building since I never been in Belgium.

That edifice was never built. It was part of Hitler and Speer's plans for the rebuilding of Berlin. It had nothing to do with Belgium.

Hello,
Yes it's was a part of the plan of "Germania", the new Berlin. I don't know why Instierr is speaking about Belgium!!!!
