Generaltelegrafenamt, Telegraph administration building in Mitte, Germany

The Generaltelegrafenamt spans across multiple addresses, including Jägerstraße and Oberwallstraße, featuring sandstone facades and Italian High Renaissance architectural elements.

Built between 1861 and 1863, this structure served as Berlin's central telegraph station and managed telegraphic communications throughout Germany until 1945.

The building represents the evolution of German telecommunications, with its apparatus hall showcasing cast iron beams supporting a glass ceiling from 1878.

Located in central Berlin, the structure underwent renovations after reunification and now functions as Deutsche Telekom AG's capital representation.

The complex contains the oldest surviving post office building in Berlin, situated specifically at Oberwallstraße 4A.
