Kaliningrad City Hall

The Kaliningrad City Hall stands as a prominent governmental building with a renovated facade at the center of Victory Square, marking the administrative core of the city.

Built in 1923 by architect Hanns Hopp during the German period, the structure initially served as Handelshof trade hall before becoming the Stadthaus municipal headquarters in 1927.

The building represents the transformation from German Königsberg to Russian Kaliningrad, preserving architectural elements from both cultural periods through its continued administrative function.

The City Hall maintains its role as the primary municipal government center, providing administrative services to residents and hosting official meetings throughout the week.

The structure survived World War II damage while many surrounding buildings were destroyed, making it one of the few preserved examples of 1920s architecture in Kaliningrad.
