Das Rote Rathaus in Berlin - The Red City Hall
The city hall with its striking facade is one of the landmarks of
Berlin.
The name "red city hall" is a playful reference to the building material of the red bricks. Between 1861 and 1869, the red city hall was built according to plans drawn up by Hermann Waesemann. The neo-Renaissance building with rounded arches was built along with three courtyards.

A 74 metre tall tower crowns the brick ensemble.
During the Second World War, the city hall was severely damaged but was
soon reconstructed in the immediate years after the war. Following the
logic of the division of Berlin, the East Berlin magistrate was held in
the red city hall, while the West Berlin Senate convened on the other
side of the wall in Rathaus Schöneberg. Since 1991, the red city hall
has been serving as a common seat of government, where the mayor also
works
