The Hochhaus an der Weberwiese (German pronunciation: [ˈhoːxˌhaʊs ʔan deːɐ̯ ˈveːbɐˌviːzə] ⓘ, lit. 'high house on the weaver's meadow') is a residential building in Berlin, located in the district of Friedrichshain.
Built as part of the plan for post-war reconstruction, it was the first example of socialist classicism in the German Democratic Republic.
Above the main doorway is a quotation from Bertolt Brecht:
Friede in unserem Lande,
Friede in unserer Stadt,
daß sie den gut behause,
der sie gebauet hat.
