Description
The Administration Building at Potsdamer Straße 188-192 is a solid stone structure with an extended front that spans multiple entrances across the street numbers. The ground floor displays large windows, while the upper stories feature systematically arranged smaller windows.
History
The structure was completed in 1939 and originally housed the Berlin Transport Company headquarters. Following the war, its use shifted multiple times before eventually becoming commercial office space.

The building showcases administrative design typical of the 1930s and serves today as a commercial address. Its facade shapes the street with a simple, functional appearance that reflects how government structures were built during that era.
Practical
The building sits on a busy street in the Schöneberg district and is easy to reach. Visitors should note that it is an actively used structure, so access to the interior may be limited.
Did you know?
