The Hochhaus an der Weberwiese (literally "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.
