Detlev-Rohwedder-Haus, Office building in Mitte, Germany.

The massive government complex extends over 400 meters along Wilhelmstrasse, featuring 2,100 offices and corridors stretching for 6.8 kilometers.

Built between 1935 and 1936 as the Reich Ministry of Aviation under Hermann Göring, the building later served as the House of Ministries in East Germany.

The structure displays elements of 1930s German administrative architecture with travertine and limestone facades sourced from 50 different quarries.

The German Federal Ministry of Finance headquarters contains 17 staircases and 4,000 window axes across its limestone and travertine exterior.

During the German Democratic Republic period, the building became the focal point of the 1953 uprising against communist authorities.
