Beyond the Horizon

February 25, 2023

This proud, round-arched brick building was constructed between 1861 and 1871 according to the visionary plans of Hermann Friedrich Waesemann. As the name suggests, the bright red brick facade immediately draws attention and gives the building a distinctive character.

But the Red Town Hall is not just an architectural masterpiece. As the seat of the Governing Mayor and the Berlin Senate, it is the political heart of the capital. Visitors will be impressed by the imposing rooms, such as the Coat of Arms Hall, where the coats of arms of all Berlin districts sparkle in the windows. Once a venue for municipal assemblies, this room now welcomes state guests and reflects the splendor and history of Berlin.

History buffs will appreciate the opportunity to explore the terracotta frieze depicting Berlin's history up to the building's construction. And while the building suffered significant damage during World War II, its meticulous restoration testifies to Berliners' resilience and commitment to their heritage.

In the evening, when the Red Town Hall and the neighboring landmarks—the TV Tower, St. Mary's Church, the Neptune Fountain, and the picturesque Nikolaiviertel—glow in soft light, the district becomes a magical place. Here, visitors can stroll through history, enjoy culinary delights in the surrounding restaurants, or simply soak up the atmospheric atmosphere.

The tower of the Berlin City Hall on Alexanderplatz in Berlin-Mitte can be seen from afar and is one of the most famous landmarks in Berlin. Because of the red bricks, it is also called the "Red Town Hall".

It is very centrally located next to the Berlin TV Tower, the Marienkirche, the Neptune Fountain and the beautiful Nikolaiviertel. A detour here is definitely worthwhile, as is a leisurely stroll in the evening when everything is wonderfully illuminated.
