Ribbeck-Haus, Renaissance residential building in Mitte, Germany.

The Ribbeck-Haus stands at Breite Straße 35, featuring decorative gables, helical volutes, and an arched portal entrance in late Renaissance style.

Built in 1624 by Chamber Councillor Hans Georg von Ribbeck, the structure merged two gabled houses into a single residence during Berlin's architectural expansion.

The building represents the only remaining example of Renaissance residential architecture in Berlin, reflecting the lifestyle of wealthy merchants from that period.

The Ribbeck-Haus now functions as the Berlin Senate Library and Center for Berlin Studies, offering research materials about the city's development.

The cellar of Ribbeck-Haus contains a restored cross vault, discovered during renovation works in 1986.
