The International Congress Centre (ICC), a striking silver building located in the heart of Berlin, will open its doors to visitors for a special 49-hour event during Heritage Day in September. This iconic structure, which resembles a dormant, abandoned spaceship, was originally opened in 1979 and has been a beloved symbol of West Berlin's forward-thinking design.
Built as part of an effort to demonstrate large-scale, forward-looking design, the ICC is now a testament to the city's rich history. However, due to asbestos contamination, it closed its doors in 2014. Now, visitors have the chance to explore the remarkable interiors up close.

The ICC's future use in Berlin is currently undecided. Regardless, this opportunity to step inside this remarkable piece of Berlin's history is not to be missed. Mark your calendars, as the ICC will be open to visitors for 49 hours during September 13 and 14.
