Nordsternhaus

The Nordsternhaus features a triangular layout with rounded corners, horizontal divisions on the facade, and two internal courtyards surrounded by five stories of office spaces.

Built between 1913 and 1914 by architects Paul Mebes and Paul Emmerich, the building initially served as headquarters for the Nordstern insurance group with capacity for 900 employees.

The building's oval foyer leads to a main staircase with wrought iron railings decorated with plant motifs, reflecting the architectural preferences of early 20th century Berlin.

Located at Badensche Straße 2, at the intersection with Salzburger Street, the Nordsternhaus currently houses the Berlin Senate Department for Justice.

The building once contained an advanced pneumatic tube postal system capable of transporting documents weighing up to two kilograms between offices.
