Linden Center and 'Work for Peace' Mural

The Lindenzentrum is the former typical GDR department store. There used to be more people here, always looking ...

The LindenZentrum, built by Otto Lopp in 1958-1960 as one of the front buildings of the Lindenallee, used to be the textile department store "Magnet". In 1999, after a long period of vacancy, it was converted into a commercial and service building, including the city library. On the north side is the oversized wall mosaic "Work for Peace" by Walter Womacka, which can also be found under the name "German-Polish-Soviet Friendship" 🤔. This designation is qualified by the three flags of the GDR, the Soviet Union and the VR Poland in the top right corner Which is the real name...?

That is the former department store 'Magnet', on the back wall is a large mural by Walter Womacka, who is a state artist par excellence like Willi Sitte."
