Imperial Post Office Giessen
Imperial Post Office Giessen, Architectural heritage monument in Bahnhofsviertel district, Giessen, Germany.
The Imperial Post Office Giessen is a building with a decorated facade on Bahnhofstrasse 91, marked by large windows and architectural details throughout. Inside, the spaces now divide into several areas where restaurants, shops, and professional services operate side by side.
The building rose in 1862 as part of Germany's expanding postal network during the nineteenth century. It functioned as a central hub where mail and communications flowed through the city and beyond.
The name reflects the building's role as a postal hub during the era when mail service connected cities across the empire. Today, visitors encounter it as a mixed-use space where commerce and daily services happen within its historic walls.
The building sits in the station district and is easy to reach on foot, especially when approaching the main railway station. Visitors can enter and explore the various shops and services housed inside without difficulty.
Between 2019 and 2021, the building underwent thorough renovation while keeping its historic exterior intact. This work allowed the old structure to serve new purposes while its original character remained visible from the street.
