In 1901 the architect Hans Schütte was commissioned to build a new town hall for the then still independent city of Köpenick. But as early as the autumn of 1901 he secured the more lucrative post of community construction officer in neighboring Lichtenberg . The Charlottenburg architect Hugo Kinzer was therefore commissioned to continue the project. He continued to coordinate with the draftsman Hans Schütte. Together they pushed the construction project forward. Kinzer was in charge of this building from 1901 to 1904. A three-storey, neo-Gothic corner building was created with a 54-meter-high tower as an outstanding element. Stylistically, the architecture can be assigned to the medieval brick Gothic.
