Interbau
Interbau was a housing development, constructed as part of the 1957 International Building Exhibition in the Hansaviertel area of West Berlin. The overall plan was managed by Otto Bartning, and the urban design competition was won by Gerhard Jobst and Willy Kreuer, whose plans were later executed in a modified form.

gollark: That doesn't really make much sense to me. You would need to spend money to artificially fiddle with the price. More money than you gain from the higher gold prices probably.
gollark: Unfortunately there isn't really good microtransaction infrastructure around yet as far as I know.
gollark: Does LyricTech even have more than $2 in money?
gollark: Suuuure.
