Haus Vaterland (1983)

From 1928 to 1943, Haus Vaterland was a large restaurant and entertainment palace in Berlin on Potsdamer Platz, originally run by Kempinksi, with around 1 million visitors per year, which can be regarded as the forerunner of today's event gastronomy. In the guest rooms were a variety of theme restaurants including the Palmensaal, a dance hall that also held musical and artistic events, demonstrations, and variety programs. The visitors of Haus Vaterland were mainly tourists from outside Berlin.
