Kurfürstenhaus, Renaissance office building in Nikolaiviertel, Germany.
The red sandstone facade Kurfürstenhaus stretches along the Spree riverbank, displaying Renaissance architectural elements with prominent window alignments and decorative stonework.
Built between 1895 and 1897 by architect Carl Gause, the structure replaced an older building that housed the electoral mint from 1565 to 1586.
The building received its name from Elector Johann Sigismund, who passed away in 1619 at the previous structure located at Poststrasse 4.
The current Kurfürstenhaus at Poststrasse 4-5 functions as an office complex, accommodating various businesses, foundations, and law firms.
The structure survived World War II without major damage and maintains its original late 19th-century construction within the reconstructed Nikolai Quarter.
