Summary

[edit]
Description
Deutsch: Das ehemalige Kaiserliche Postamt W 8 in der Französischen Straße 9-12 in Berlin-Mitte. Das Gebäude wurde 1908-1912 nach Entwürfen von Baurat Wilhelm Walter von Postbauinspektor Ludwig Meyer errichtet. Die Fassade aus rotem Backstein und Dorlaer Muschelkalk zeigt mit einer Mischung aus Neorenaissance- und Neobarockelementen die typisch konservative Architektur repräsentativer Postgebäude der Kaiserzeit. Im Vergleich dazu ist das Innere mit der in einem zentralen Lichthof liegenden Schalterhalle modern gegliedert. Die Festergiebel der Fassade weisen Männerbüsten in historischen Postuniformen auf. In dem Gebäude residieren heute mehrere Anwalts- und Notarkanzleien, Immobilienverwaltungen, die Berliner Vertretung des Bankhauses BHF sowie der Bund der Steuerzahler, der eine "Schuldenuhr" an der Fassade angebracht hat. Das Gebäude ist als Baudenkmal ausgewiesen.
English: The former imperial post office W 8 at Französische Straße No. 9-12 in Berlin-Mitte. It was built 1908 to 1912 by Postal Building Commissioner Ludwig Meyer to a design by Building Councillor Wilhelm Walter. The facade of red brick and shell limestone shows elements of Neo-Renaissance and Neo-Baroque architecture, typical for the conservative architecture of representative postal buildings of the imperial era. In comparison, the interior of the building has a modern room layout, centered around the service area in the atrium. The window pediments of the facade show busts of men wearing traditional postal uniforms. The building is now used by serveral attorney's offices, real estate management agencies, the Berlin branch of the banking house BHF and the German Tax Payers' League, which has placed a debt clock at the front. The building has been designated a historic landmark.
