Post office N 65
The post office N 65 is a building in the style of the New Objectivity in the Richtstrasse in the Berlin district of Wedding in the Mitte district . The post office, built between 1926 and 1928 by post-building officer Wilhelm Tietze , is a listed building because of its expressive, subtly thought-out relief facade.
The front building on Richtstrasse is a steel frame building clad with brick , which is adjoined by a central wing and a transverse building. Thanks to the wide metal windows, the post office looks like a factory building , whereby Tietze succeeded in designing the facade subtly with brick and terracotta alone, thereby developing an independent abstract relief art. The artistic design comes from Walter Reger , who also created the stylized imperial eagle above the main entrance. The main entrance leads into the counter hall in the middle wing, which was rebuilt several times in the post-war period .
