Ordenspalais, Government building in Berlin-Mitte, Germany.

The Ordenspalais features a neoclassical design with intricate facade work and stands at the intersection of Wilhelmplatz and Wilhelmstrasse in central Berlin.

Constructed in 1737 under King Frederick William I of Prussia, the palace initially served as residence for Major General Karl Ludwig before housing the Order of Saint John.

The building represents the evolution of Prussian administrative architecture, incorporating elements from both baroque and neoclassical periods in its design.

The structure now functions as offices for the German Federal Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs, located at coordinates 52.5125°N and 13.383611°E.

During the 1930s, the palace transformed into the headquarters of the Reich Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda before its destruction in World War II.
