Description
Inside the house, a staircase leads to all floors. In addition, a glass escape stair tower is attached to the southeast corner of the house. In its steel and glass optics, as well as its shape, it gives the building the strongest reference to modernity. The next association with modern building is the semicircular, upper floor, which is referred to in a source as the weather station.

History
The newspaper publisher Faber had the building built from 1930 to 1932. The building was only slightly damaged in a bombing raid on January 16, 1945. The five-storey annex in Bahnhofsstraße was added from 1953-1954, as both buildings were used as the editorial office and printer for the Volksstimme newspaper.
Until the early 1990s the facade was cladded with travertine. Nevertheless the building became a protected monument of the city of Magdeburg in 2008.
