Berlin’s Federal Ribbon · Paul-Löbe-Haus · Marie-Elisabeth-Lüders-Haus

First of all, thank you AmiPolizeiFunk for all your help and patience on this one year journey.


This asset is not easy to place. Please follow the instructions and remember to use CTRL-A to plop it.

Berlin’s government buildings form a bridge over the river Spree connecting East and West. Known as the Band des Bundes – the “Federal Ribbon” – they are a fascinating mixture of modern architecture and German history.

The government buildings in the heart of Berlin form a ribbon across the river Spree, symbolically connecting East and West. The parliamentary offices and the chancellery were not built until the wall came down and Berlin was chosen as the country’s seat of government. The buildings are exciting examples of contemporary architecture that no-one sightseeing in Berlin can afford to miss.

The collection of assets consists of

- Paul-Löbe-Haus (PLH),
- Marie-Elisabeth-Lüders-Haus (MELH),
- Marie-Elisabeth-Lüders-Steg and Obere Brücke, the bridge which connects both buildings.


The Paul-Löbe-Haus is named after the former President of the Reichstag who later became the oldest MP in the first German Bundestag. It houses MPs’ offices, meeting rooms and the main visitors’ office. Especially striking is the glass facade on the west side. The building is connected to the Marie-Elisabeth-Lüders-Haus by a bridge over the Spree for those MPs who aren’t afraid of heights, and a tunnel under it for those who are.


Directly on the other side of the Spree from the Paul-Löbe-Haus is the German parliament’s centre for academic services. Opened in December 2003, it is named after the social reformer and women’s rights activist Marie Elisabeth Lüders. It houses the parliamentary library, which is one of the biggest in the world. Along the former route of the Berlin Wall there is publicly accessible memorial containing original segments of the wall as a reminder of the divided Germany.

Marie-Elisabeth-Lüders-Haus is currently undergoing an extension that includes a tower on the eastern end of the building. It should have been completed by 2015, but is still under construction. As there are no current public photos available for some parts of the extension, especially the roof, I had to improvise in some cases, hoping that I am at least very close to the final look.


This is my second release after Berlin Hauptbahnhof which is accidentally very near to the buildings I created. It took me more than ten month to do it and more than 250 hours in total.

I had to overcome a lot of game obstacles during the creation process as the buildings are situated directly on a river and have different numbers of floors on their West and East side. Additionally, I believe that all three parts combined would be the largest asset on the workshop with a massive footprint of 450 m x 100 m.


- 1:1 size of the real buildings
- Lot size is ~ 57x13 units (450 m x 100 m)
- Found under Monuments > Category 5
- 13 + 9 subbuildings + 2 main buildings + 1 prop, road connections needed
- Costs $250,000 to build for each building
- Upkeep is $2,500 per week


Since the complex consists of three parts (two buildings and the prop bridge in between), I figured out soon that plopping it could be difficult.

1. make sure all required mods are turned on
2. in Prop Snapping set both options on (Don't update prop Y ... and Allow Prop to submerge)
3. press CTRL-A to activate anarchy mode
4. import the Move It! file[drive.google.com] by placing it into the MoveItExports folder
5. deactivate Follow Terrain
6. place the building next to a river
7. create a quay that runs in front of the base footprints of each building

If you search for the prop bridge, use Find it! and search for Spree bridge


Both buildings have m_placementMode set to OnWater for the main and all of their sub buildings. That means, that you won't be able to place it on ground unless you use Fine Road Anarchy to plop it. The reason is that all modes except OnWater block water, which would result in crazy water movements upon loading a savegame.
