Altes Postamt SW 61

The four-story red brick building features two glass-covered interior courtyards, pointed arch windows, and rectangular openings along its main facade at Tempelhofer Ufer 1.

Architect Hermann Struve designed and constructed this postal facility between 1900 and 1902, marking a period of expansion in Berlin's communication infrastructure.

The building reflects the architectural preferences of early 20th-century Berlin, combining neo-Gothic elements with functional design principles for public service buildings.

The main hall, renovated in the 2010s with restored skylights, now houses the Hallesches Haus restaurant and serves as office space for digital companies.

The post office building stands in architectural contrast to the rebuilt Hallesches Tor subway station across the Landwehr Canal, which received simplified reconstruction in 1949.
