The '''Kulturfinger''' is the nickname of a [[steel]]-framed tower built during the days of the [[Communism|communist]] [[German Democratic Republic]] that is the tallest building in [[Neubrandenburg]], [[Germany]]. It is part of the '''Haus der Kultur und Bildung''' ([[German language|German]] for ''House of Culture and Education'') or '''HKB''', the city's cultural institution.

The 56-m, 16-story mixed-use [[Socialist realism|socialist realist]] building was designed by Neubrandenburg chief architect [[Iris Grund]], who had studied under [[East Germany]]'s prominent architect [[Hermann Henselmann]]. Along with the adjacent theater, also designed by Grund, it opened on July 17, 1965. The building was renovated in the 1990s, following [[German reunification]].
