Goldene Saal


The Golden Room was another highlight of my tour of Rathaus Schöneberg. It's named for the golden tiles that line the ceiling, giving the whole room a special glow. A few lucky couples get married here every year - it must be exciting to tie the knot in such historic surroundings. But am I the only one who thinks those designs around the wall look like moustaches?

Two large murals adorn the walls here. This one shows the Martin Gropius Bau from the West looking towards the East as it appeared during the divided days. The mural is entitled Senatsmannschaft vor dem Gropiusbau 1987 and was painted by artist Matthias Koeppel. 


On the opposite wall, you get a nice view of bathers enjoying the Havelstrand and a nice view of the Church of the Redeemer in Sacrow. It's Monday again and if you enjoy murals, take a look at Monday Mural.
