Visitors keep asking us this question: What used to be in the building of the Museum of Communication Berlin? The answer is: It was planned and built as a museum! The imposing building on Leipziger Straße is the oldest postal museum in the world. the building celebrated its 125th birthday in 2023.

The architectural tour takes you on a journey through the eventful history of the world's oldest postal museum - now the Museum of Communication Berlin.

The building is a magnificent Wilhelminian structure - explicitly designed and built as a museum. The tour focuses on how the German Empire built itself a postal palace and thus carved its claim to power in stone.Translated with DeepL
