Germanya Han, Ottoman-era office building in Fatih, Turkey.

The Germanya Han building stands at the intersection of Sultanhamam and Şeyhülislam Hayri Efendi streets with a lead-grey roof and triangular structure.

Built for Deutsche Orient Bank during the Ottoman period, this structure was designed by Prussian architect August Jasmund, who served the Ottoman court from 1888 to 1907.

The architectural design combines Central European elements with Ottoman features, displaying symmetrical facades and baroque-inspired details across multiple floors.

Located at coordinates 41°00′54.8″N and 28°58′20.5″E, the building maintains its original function as an office space in the commercial district of Istanbul.

The building's isosceles triangle shape and ship bow design symbolize its position in Eminönü, featuring a distinctive tower topped with a dome.

Location: Fatih

Architects: August Jasmund
