Berlin - Wederscher Markt

On the southern side of Werderscher Markt in Berlin's Mitte district can be found a building erected in 1934-38. It was the Head Office of the Deutsche Reichsbank until 1945 and then the home of the Central Committee of the German Socialist Union Party, which changed its name to "House of Parliamentarians" following the recent changes in East Germany. It now houses the Federal Bank (Bundesbank) and the Federal Ministry of Economic Cooperation.

Now painted blue, the Jungfernbrücke - Berlin's last remaining drawbridge built in 1798 - provides access from the south side of the above-mentioned building across an arm of the River Spree to Friedrichsgracht with its imposing new buildings.
