Rathaus Schöneberg, City hall in Schöneberg, Berlin, Germany
The five-story sandstone building reaches 70 meters in height and features a prominent clock tower at John-F.-Kennedy-Platz in Tempelhof-Schöneberg district.
Between 1949 and 1990, Rathaus Schöneberg functioned as the seat of West Berlin's state senate and housed the Governing Mayor until 1991.
The Freedom Bell, installed in 1950 as a gift from the United States, resides in the tower as a symbol of German-American relations.
The building serves as the administrative center for the Tempelhof-Schöneberg district, hosting public meetings, exhibitions, and governmental offices.
President John F. Kennedy delivered his famous 'Ich bin ein Berliner' speech on the building's steps in June 1963.
