Old Town Hall, Historic town hall in Mitte, Germany
The brick building presents red and yellow patterns on its facade, with high arched windows and Gothic architectural elements throughout its structure.
The Old Town Hall served as Berlin's medieval administrative center at the intersection of Königstrasse and Spandauer Strasse from around 1270.
The ground floor functioned as a cloth hall while the upper floor hosted council meetings and gatherings of cloth makers and merchant guilds.
The historical structure remained operational until 1860, when the construction of the current Red City Hall began behind the original building.
The building's remains, including foundations, cellars, and parts of the cloth hall, were preserved underground after protests from citizens and scholars.
