Friedrich-von-Raumer-Bibliothek, Public library in Kreuzberg, Berlin, Germany.
The Friedrich-von-Raumer-Bibliothek sits on the ground floor and in a distinctive rotunda of a building designed by architects Franz Hoffmann and Max Taut for a service union. The space holds book collections, digital materials, and study areas for visitors to use.
The founder Professor Friedrich von Raumer established four public libraries in Berlin in 1850, drawing ideas from American models. The building housing this branch was completed by Hoffmann and Taut and became home to the library in 1955.
The library hosts rotating art exhibitions and community programs that reflect local interests. It serves as a meeting point where visitors can study, explore ideas, and connect with neighbors.
The library sits on Dudenstraße and offers free entry to Berlin residents as part of the Stadtbibliothek Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg network. The neighborhood has good transit connections, making it easy for visitors to reach.
The distinctive rotunda protrudes westward from the main building facade, creating a striking architectural feature. This protruding form makes the structure stand out in the neighborhood.
