Pavillon

The Pavillon is a 35 square meter glass cube on the Platz and Weydingerstraße. It is located directly in front of the Spielplatz and not far from the Telefonzelle. An entrance door is located in the middle of the front. To the front and to the right, it is completely visible through glass walls and a third can be seen on the left. To the rear there is another door at the right end, which leads into a space. On the floor there are about 30 cm high radiators on the three front sides.
Originally it was used as an information kiosk. https://taz.de/Bitte-nicht-der-naechste-Platz-to-be/!3198675/ In 2002, Aggregat (the congenial name was indeed the program and that meant exactly that you could do anything you wanted without thinking up explanations for it). https://taz.de/Die-Vitrine-vom-Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz/!1112013 In 2007, the Institut am Glaspavillon discovered here that research and academics in general are best at making sexy websites when they are very sparse and you can still be hip despite many technical terms. http://web.archive.org/web/20080831105450/http://glasspavilion.homepage.t-online.de/institut/institut%20about.html In the 2010s, under the motto BOOKS it operated with just such consumption by the publishers Alexander, Belleville, Berenberg, Galiani, Matthes & Seitz, Metrolit, Neofelis and Criminals - these criminals!

Before it was officially declared the LVX venue of the Volksbühne during the reign of Chris Dercon, because he thought the theater was a museum, it was also used as a theater box office and bookstore, but actually for a very long time, or at least when Mitte became synonymous with gallery, it was mostly actually that.
