Rathaus Treptow, Town hall in Plänterwald, Berlin, Germany.
Rathaus Treptow is an administrative building on Neue Krugallee with Renaissance Revival styling, a pointed roof, and a prominent clock tower. The floor plan is angular and the facade shows the ornamental details typical of that building era.
Construction took place between 1909 and 1910 under architect Georg Süßenguth's design. After Treptow was incorporated into Berlin in 1920, the building became the seat of the district administration.
The figures above the main entrance represent civic virtues and show how the city wanted to express its values through sculpture around 1910. They reflect the architectural traditions that were common in Berlin at that time for public buildings.
The entrance is on Neue Krugallee and the building is easy to spot from outside thanks to its distinctive clock tower. The town hall serves as an administrative building today and can be viewed from the outside in this capacity.
The northern gable bears an inscribed text that documents the building's purpose. A sculpture named Karpfenjule has stood in front of the building since 1998, representing the district's identity.
