Altes Stadthaus, Administrative building in Mitte, Germany
The Altes Stadthaus features five interior courtyards and a prominent 80-meter tower crowned with a copper Fortuna sculpture at its summit.
Construction of the building began in 1902 under architect Ludwig Hoffmann and required seven million gold marks to complete before its inauguration in 1911.
The Bear Hall contains 29 allegorical sculptures representing civic virtues and Greek deities, along with a central bear statue symbolizing Berlin.
Located between Judenstrasse, Klosterstrasse, Parochialstrasse, and Stralauer Strasse, the building currently houses offices of the Berlin Senate administration.
The structure changed its name from Neues Stadthaus to Altes Stadthaus after World War II when an adjacent building took the former designation.
