Mendelssohn Palace, Neoclassical bank building in Mitte, Germany

The Mendelssohn Palace features a two-story structure made of Seeberger sandstone with prominent horizontal elements including a main cornice and attic balustrade.

The palace, completed in 1893 by architects Martin Gropius and Heino Schmieden, functioned as both a residence and banking facility for the Mendelssohn family.

The interior contains stucco reliefs created by sculptor Johann Gottfried Schadow, which were originally commissioned by Joseph Mendelssohn for the Berlin Stock Exchange.

The ground floor served banking operations while the second floor contained partner offices, connected by a black Belgian limestone staircase with wrought-iron railings.

The counter hall maintains its original marble flooring and receives natural illumination through a large central skylight spanning the space.
