Postfuhramt, Architectural heritage monument in Berlin-Mitte, Germany.

The Postfuhramt features an Italian Renaissance facade with yellow clinker bricks, terracotta decorations, and a Byzantine-influenced octagonal dome at its corner.

Between 1875 and 1881, architect Carl Schwatlo constructed this mail delivery office, integrating 26 terracotta busts depicting notable figures from postal service history.

After serving as a postal facility until 1995, the building transformed into an exhibition space, hosting the first Berlin Biennale in 1998.

Located at Oranienburger Straße 35-36 in Berlin, the building now functions as a conference and education center for medical professionals.

The exterior walls display 26 chronologically arranged terracotta busts representing important personalities from the communication and postal sectors throughout history.
