Blau-Gold-Haus, Architectural monument in Altstadt-Nord, Germany
The Blau-Gold-Haus exhibits steel frame construction methods that allow natural light to enter through large windows across its entire structure.
Peter Behrens designed this building in 1910 to house the Mannesmann factory administration before it became the residence of North Rhine-Westphalian ministers until 1953.
The structure represents a significant example of early 20th-century industrial architecture and maintains its heritage status since 1982.
Located near public transportation stations, the building stands close to the North Rhine-Westphalia state parliament and connects to multiple city attractions.
French troops occupied the building during the Ruhr occupation, and later it served as headquarters for the British Military Government after World War II.
