Rotes Rathaus

The Rotes Rathaus is the seat of Berlin's city government, a striking red brick building near Alexanderplatz. Named for its colour rather than its politics, the Rotes Rathaus has anchored the city's civic life for over a century and a half. This overview gathers Berlin locations around the town hall.

Its clock tower and terracotta facade rise above the surrounding Mitte streets, close to the Fernsehturm, the Nikolaiviertel and the Marienkirche. The building is open for certain events and exhibitions, and the square in front hosts markets and celebrations. It sits at the historic heart of the city.
