Summary
| Description |
Deutsch: Das ehemalige Kaiserliche Generalpostamt und heutige Museum für Kommunikation an der Leipziger Straße, Ecke Mauerstraße (links), in Berlin-Mitte, erbaut 1893-1898 von Ernst Hake, Heinrich Techow und Franz Ahrens als Erweiterung eines 1871-1874 von Carl Schwatlo errichteten Altbaus. Der markant abgerundete, monumentale Eckbau wird bekrönt von einer Skulptur des Bildhauers Ernst Wenck, die drei Giganten zeigt, die eine Weltkugel stemmen. Die eisernen Gitterthore am Eckbau sind aus der Werkstatt von Ed. Puls hervorgegangen. Nach Zerstörungen im Zweiten Weltkrieg ist von dem Schwatlo-Altbau nur eine Hofanlage erhalten geblieben. Der restliche Komplex wurde 1958-1963 wiederhergestellt und im Innern modernisiert. Er war danach Sitz des Postmuseums und des Ministeriums für Post- und Fernmeldewesen der DDR. Der Komplex ist als Baudenkmal ausgewiesen.
English: The former Imperial General Post Office, now Museum for Communication, on Leipziger Straße, corner of Mauerstraße (on the left) in Berlin-Mitte, built 1893 to 1898 as enlargement of an older building, which Carl Schwatlo had constructed from 1871 to 1874. The prominently curved corner part carries a sculpture by Ernst Wenck, consisting of three titans carrying a globe. The iron gates on the corner building are from the workshop of Ed. Puls.The building was heavily damaged in WWII and the original Schwatlo building destroyed except for one cortyard. The rest of the complex was restored and the interior was modernized from 1958 to 1963. Subsequently, the building was seat of the Post Museum and of the Ministry of Post and Telecommunications of the GDR. The building complex has been designated a historic lanmark. |
