Stadthaus, Office building in Krefeld, Germany.

Stadthaus is a modern high-rise in Krefeld featuring clean lines and a steel-glass construction that spans multiple stories. The building shapes the city center with its functional design and open spatial arrangement.

Egon Eiermann began planning the VerSeidAG administration building around 1950/1951, after Mies van der Rohe's 1937–38 design for the same site went unbuilt because of the war. The flat building went up in 1953–54, the high-rise behind it in the two following years. VerSeidAG sold the complex in 1977, and the city converted it into municipal offices by 1982.

The building shows how the city wanted to rebuild itself after the war, with modern forms instead of historical ornaments. Visitors see here the shift from old to new building styles in the townscape.

The Stadthaus stands on Konrad-Adenauer-Platz in the Kempener Feld district, northwest of Krefeld's inner city, beside Girmesgath. Large parts of the complex are unusable and closed after the high-rise was fully and the flat building partly vacated in 2014; only a few city departments remain. Visitors should view the ensemble from the square rather than expect interior access.

The steel-glass construction was a technical innovation in the 1950s that differed from traditional German building methods. This building approach later allowed more flexible interior layouts for different administrative departments.
