Polizeipräsidium Bochum, Police headquarters in central Bochum, Germany.

The Polizeipräsidium Bochum features a seven-story corner tower decorated with a limestone relief of the Prussian eagle on its exterior facade.

The building, constructed between 1926 and 1929, later housed the Gestapo after 1933, marking a dark period in its history during the Nazi regime.

The structure incorporates late expressionist architectural design elements, following the plans of Chief Building Officer Ludwig Scheibner from the Prussian Building Authority.

Located at Uhlandstraße 35 in downtown Bochum, the police headquarters manages three police inspectorates covering Bochum, Herne, and Witten districts.

A two-story enclosed pedestrian bridge connects the original building to its 1993 extension, creating an integrated administrative complex.
