Telecommunications office

The Telecommunications office is an administrative building in Schöneberg with expressive architectural features that display expressionist design principles. The structure combines bold forms and geometric patterns that are typical of early 20th-century institutional architecture.

Otto Wilhelm Spalding designed this building during a period of rapid growth in Berlin's communication infrastructure. The structure marks a turning point when the city modernized its connection systems while embracing contemporary architecture.

The building shows how communication technology and artistic architecture came together in Berlin and what that meant for the city. The facade reflects the hope that new technology and beautiful design could work side by side.

The building is located in the Tempelhof-Schöneberg district and is easy to reach. Visitors can view the exterior facade and overall form from the street to appreciate the expressive architectural details.

The building demonstrates how a telecommunications center had to be not just functional but also artistically impressive. This connection between practical necessity and expressionist design is still clearly visible today and makes the structure distinctive.
