Institut für Hygiene und medizinische Mikrobiologie der FU Berlin
Hindenburgdamm 27
The Institute for hygenics and medical micro-biology was built in 1966-74 by Fehling and Gogel. They developed an own language combining the organic approach of Hugo Häring and Hans Scharoun and Le Corbusiers formal brutalism as found in the Carpenter Center built few years before. Both were students and followers of Hans Scharoun, whom built the Philharmonie and the state library.
It contains in a lively and functional way a research centre in virology, hygenics, and micro-biology of the FU Free University in two main parts: the educational section with lecture halls and library and the research section with labratories and technical supply.

Zentrale Tierlaboratorien der FU Berlin
The central animal laboratories of the FU Free University by Gerd Hänska was planed 1966-72 and built in 1971-81.
As there is a building of Gerd Hänska next to the Max-Planck-Institut für Bildungsforschung we saw on the other tour, we'll find another one of him here: the so called "Mäusebunker", the central animal laboratories of the FU, built in 1971-1980.
