Galgenhaus, Heritage monument in Mitte, Germany.
The Galgenhaus stands as a three-story building with five vertical axes and a classical facade at Bruderstrasse 10 in Berlin.
Constructed in 1688 for Court Councilor Wilhelm Heinrich von Happe, the building later served as the Saint Peter Church rectory from 1737 to 1945.
German statistics pioneer Johann Peter Süßmilch lived and worked in this building during his time as provost of Saint Peter Church.
The building features a preserved baroque staircase and ground floor room with stucco ceiling decorated with cherubs and floral patterns.
A silver spoon theft led to a public execution in front of the building in 1735, giving rise to its name Galgenhaus, meaning Gallows House.
