Reichspostzentralamt, Expressionist architectural monument in Tempelhof, Germany
The Reichspostzentralamt features blue-red clinker bricks across its 172-meter-long south facade with vertical structural elements and steel skeleton construction.
Edmund Beisel and Karl Pfuhl designed this postal administration building between 1925 and 1928, with construction costs reaching 4.85 million German marks.
The interior includes a central staircase decorated with turquoise ceramic tiles, incorporating Art Deco ornaments throughout the building's five floors.
Located at Ringbahnstraße 130, the building now houses the Berlin State Criminal Police Office with approximately 1,200 employees after extensive renovations.
The building played a central role in developing German radio, telephone, and telegraph systems through its specialized laboratories and research facilities.
