Breite Straße 25, Protected architectural heritage building in Düsseldorf, Germany.

Breite Straße 25 is a neoclassical bank building erected in 1911–1912 to designs by Carl Moritz and Werner Stahl. Its core is a one-storey corner structure with a set-back attic and a tempietto at Benrather Straße, flanked by four-storey, three-axis wings. The tempietto's ground floor has three arches alternating with statue niches and fluted colossal pilasters; above sits a round tambour with a dome on a ring of columns.

The building was constructed between 1911 and 1912 as the headquarters of Barmer Bank Association. Following a merger in 1932, it became part of Commerzbank and maintained this function for decades.

The four life-sized sculptures on the Benrather Strasse wing, added in 1925, form two pairs of half-nudes: the left pair by Rudolf Zieseniss, the right by Johannes Knubel. On the corner tempietto, two stone figures by Georg Grasegger and Josef Moest rest on pedestals in front of the balustrade. The three bronze figures in the ground-floor niches have no known sculptor.

The building sits at an easily accessible corner location in central Düsseldorf and currently houses a Commerzbank branch. A pedestrian bridge connects the original building to a modern high-rise constructed in the 1960s, providing additional office space.

The three bronze figures in the corner niches have no documented sculptor; the source records the artist as unknown. The two stone figures on the balustrade are by Georg Grasegger and Josef Moest, and the four life-sized half-nude pairs added in 1925 on the Benrather Strasse wing are by Rudolf Zieseniss (left) and Johannes Knubel (right).
