The Gelsenkirchen-Süd tax office is a former tax office in Gelsenkirchen . In 2011, the North Rhine-Westphalian finance minister, Norbert Walter-Borjans, ordered the merger with the Gelsenkirchen-Nord tax office. It was closed in May 2015 with the opening of the new Gelsenkirchen tax office on Ludwig-Erhard-Straße.
The Gelsenkirchen-Süd tax office was housed in the administration building at Zeppelinallee 9–13 in the southern old town . It is one of the urban examples of brick expressionism and is a listed building .
Administration building on Zeppelinallee
The administration building was designed by Alfred Reischig, architect of the Reichsbauamt Dortmund, on behalf of the regional finance office in Münster and built between 1928 and 1929 as the “Finance and Customs Office Gelsenkirchen” in late Expressionist forms. It is a three-storey, elongated, block-like building in brick with 23 axes under a hipped roof . The building is evenly grid, from which the asymmetrically offset five-story, three-axis tower differs. The main entrance in the form of a loggia is located on the ground floor of the tower, slightly set back by a vault . This is supported by sandstone pillars , which are decorated with capitals with depictions of animals, and can be reached via an outside staircase. The tower top was designed as a row of arcades with open pointed arches in front of a hipped roof, which is based on the Wilhelm-Marx-Haus in Düsseldorf by the architect Wilhelm Kreis . At Wittekindstraße 18 there is an orthogonal extension of the tax office to the south.
The neighboring building Zeppelinallee 15-17 was based on the forms of the tax office Gelsenkirchen-Süd. The entrepreneur Stallmann based his style and materials on the administration building and also decorated it with a figure that shows a man with empty pockets.
The administration building was entered on September 14, 1984 under the number 8 as a monument in the list of monuments of the city of Gelsenkirchen . It has been empty since the tax office south moved out in May 2015.
