Original Abstract

In 1944, Hans Scharoun wrote two letters to his Czech student and collaborator Lubomír Šlapeta, which faithfully illustrate the dramatic atmosphere of the final phase of the war and the suffering of the residents of Berlin, which was bombed daily. However, they also contain his memories on Prague, proofreading of Šlapeta’s industrial city projects and “last not least” fears, desires and concentration of creative energy in anticipation of a new beginning.
