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.
They do indeed and the mural really does light up the room!
ReplyDeleteNice murals and the decoration does indeed look like mustaches on a row.

ReplyDeleteI agree about the moustaches, and the murals are amazing!
ReplyDeleteVery dapper mustaches, but definitely mustaches...hercule Poirot ones! But how beautiful the room is otherwise.
ReplyDeleteLooks a bit like a homage to Poirot! ;-)) Lovely murals.
ReplyDeleteHad mine since '74... consider myself a bit of an authority. YES, they do. Yes, they are! hahahahaha
ReplyDeleteThose chairs??? So ugly! Yes , they look like moustaches. A lovely room to get married, indeed!
ReplyDeleteYep, I noticed the mustaches too. And what a remarkable room!
ReplyDeleteWell if they are moustaches, then they have eyes in the middle, don't they? ;-) I really like the second one.
ReplyDeleteThey do look like moustaches, but it is a beautiful room!
ReplyDeleteIt is really beautiful! I sent you an e-mail which I hope you will receive. Thank you so much for your friendship, it means so much to me. :)
ReplyDeleteNow I can only see the mustaches! It looks very art deco...and I like the ceiling light fixtures, too. Quite a room!
ReplyDeleteThe chairs should be turned around and face the Goldene Saal (smile).
ReplyDeleteTwo fine murals. And, yes, they definitely look like mustaches.
ReplyDeleteYes to the moustaches. Lovely, tranquil scenes under the golden ceiling.
