Neues Stadthaus, Administrative building in Berlin-Mitte, Germany.

The Neues Stadthaus is a five-storey administrative building on Parochialstrasse in Berlin-Mitte, built in 1937/38 to designs by Kurt Starck and Franz Arnous as a commercial block for the Städtische Feuersozietät insurance company. Its façade faces the street, and inside it houses the Standesamt Mitte, one of Germany's largest registry offices.

The Neues Stadthaus was built in 1937/38 as a commercial building to plans by Kurt Starck and Franz Arnous, one of the few structures realised from long-discussed plans for the Molkenmarkt area. Its first user was the Städtische Feuersozietät insurance company. Since the end of the Second World War it has served the Magistrat of Greater Berlin, and from 1990 the Berlin Senate; its intact meeting hall made it the first seat of the city assembly.

The building's name changed after 1945: the neighbouring Stadthaus on Molkenmarkt, used as Berlin's town hall, became the Altes Stadthaus, while this former insurance block took the name Neues Stadthaus. Since then it has served the Magistrat of Greater Berlin and, from 1990, the Berlin Senate. Today it houses the Standesamt Mitte, one of Germany's largest registry offices, where civil weddings take place.

The Neues Stadthaus stands on Parochialstrasse, a short walk from Molkenmarkt and close to the Rotes Rathaus in Berlin-Mitte. It is a working Senate building, so access is limited to public service areas such as the Standesamt Mitte registry office; visitors should check opening conditions before entering.

The building was erected in 1937/38 as a commercial block for the Städtische Feuersozietät insurance company, one of the few structures actually built under Richard Ermisch's 1933 plans for an administrative forum around Molkenmarkt. Its site on Parochialstrasse replaced houses including No. 27, where Ernst Friedrich had run his Anti-War Museum until 1933.
