Postbank-Hochhaus, Office building in Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg, Germany.
Postbank-Hochhaus is a 23-story office building reaching 89 meters high with an aluminum and glass facade. The structure combines steel framework and reinforced concrete in a sleek form that continues to define the streetscape of this district.
Built between 1965 and 1971, it served as West Berlin's central postal check office during the city's division. Its completion came at a time when the divided city needed independent administrative infrastructure.
The building displays the clean, open design language of International Modernism that spread across Berlin in the 1960s. The expansive glass hall and broad facades create a sense of openness and continue to shape the character of this neighborhood.
The building sits at the corner of Hallesches Ufer and Großbeerenstraße with good public transit access. Currently, the site is being redeveloped as part of the Die Macherei Berlin-Kreuzberg project, so exterior access and conditions may change.
In 1972, 18 bronze columns were installed as a fountain sculpture at the entrance, creating contrast with the angular architecture. Many visitors overlook this water installation even though it plays a key role in shaping the plaza's appearance.
