Bundeshaus, Federal government building complex in Wilmersdorf, Berlin.
The Bundeshaus is a four-story federal government building in Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf with classical architectural details, situated at the corner of Bundesallee and Wilmersdorfer Strasse. The structure currently accommodates multiple federal agencies on its premises.
The building was erected between 1893 and 1895 for the Royal Prussian Artillery Commission, reflecting late 19th-century government needs. Following World War II damage, restoration took place and the site reopened in 1950.
The building displays memorial plaques honoring figures from the German Resistance movement, making their struggle visible to those passing through. These commemorations shape how visitors understand the site's connection to political opposition during difficult historical periods.
The building sits at an easily identifiable corner location and currently serves federal agencies that are not fully open to public access. The specific address at Bundesallee 217 helps with navigation when exploring the neighborhood.
From 1950 to 1990, this building served as a connection point between West Berlin and Bonn, housing the Federal Plenipotentiary representative. This role marks a distinctive chapter in German division and political bridge-building during that era.
