You can also visit the building. It's worth it to go in there

The Schöneberg Town Hall is the town hall of the Tempelhof-Schöneberg district of Berlin. From 1949 to 1993 the Berlin House of Representatives met here and from 1949 to 1991 it was the seat of the Governing Mayor. After its completion in 1914, it was the town hall of the independent city of Schöneberg until 1920. From 1920 until the district merger in 2001, it housed the administration of the Berlin district of Schöneberg.

During the time of Berlin's division, important events in the city's history took place here:

- the handover of the Liberty Bell on October 21, 1950.
- On June 26, 1963, John F. Kennedy gave his famous speech on the square in front of the town hall, in which he made the historical confession “I am a Berliner”.
- This is where the demonstration began on June 2, 1967 in West Berlin against the state visit of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, during which the student Benno Ohnesorg was shot.

The sandstone building is characterized by a 70 meter high tower on which the Berlin flag flies. Various reliefs decorate the simply plastered facade. The interiors contain wood paneling and typical bourgeois commissioned art of the early 20th century. Hit by several bombs during the Second World War, parts of the interior and the tower were only restored in a simplified manner. Nevertheless, some of the interiors are still used today as a film set when an upper-class ambience is to be presented.
