Hans-Sachs-Haus, Art Deco administrative building in Gelsenkirchen, Germany
The Hans-Sachs-Haus features a six-story reinforced concrete structure with ceramic panel cladding and banded windows grouped by cornices across primary elevations.
Built between 1924 and 1927 by architect Alfred Fischer, the building suffered damage during World War II and underwent reconstruction from 1947 to 1950.
Named through a public competition in 1926, the building represents the integration of labor and art, with its name displayed prominently above the main entrance.
The facility now serves as Gelsenkirchen's town hall, accommodating 450 employees and featuring a multifunctional civic forum with an illuminated atrium.
The building introduced the first color-coded signage system in public buildings, designed by professor Max Burchartz using Bauhaus color theory principles.
