Neues Stadthaus, Administrative building in Berlin-Mitte, Germany.
Description
The Neues Stadthaus is an administrative building in Berlin-Mitte featuring five inner courtyards decorated with sculptures of Greek deities. The structure extends along Parochialstrasse near Molkenmarkt and houses one of Germany's largest registry offices today.
History
Construction of the Neues Stadthaus began in 1902 under architect Ludwig Hoffmann and was completed in 1911. After German reunification in 1990, the GDR emblem was removed from the entrance and 180 sculptural elements throughout the building underwent restoration.

The Bear Hall inside features decorative elements connected to Berlin's municipal symbol, with a bear statue at its center. These rooms reflect how the bear holds meaning in the city's identity.
Practical
The building is easy to find along Parochialstrasse near Molkenmarkt in the district. Visitors should note that this is an active administrative site, so not all areas may be freely accessible to the public.
