Rathaus Lichterfelde, Municipal building in Lichterfelde district, Germany.
The Rathaus Lichterfelde is a municipal administrative building in southwestern Berlin with granite walls and symmetrically arranged windows. The structure displays classical design features characteristic of German town halls from its construction era.
The building was constructed in the second half of the 19th century as part of Berlin's outward expansion toward the southwest. Its completion reflected the growing importance of Lichterfelde as an independent administrative center.
The town hall serves as the heart of local civic life, hosting weddings, official ceremonies, and community gatherings that mark important moments for residents. This role shapes daily neighborhood life and makes the building a focal point where people connect.
Access is available during business hours for municipal services, and the building also opens for exhibitions and special events. It is helpful to check in advance whether visits are possible or if entry is limited to specific areas.
The building blends Prussian administrative architecture with elements typical of Berlin's rapidly growing suburban villa communities around 1900. This mixture of state authority and affluent outlying areas gives it a distinctive character among Berlin's town halls.
