Kaliningrad City Hall

The building was designed by architect Hanns Hopp in 1923, when the city was known as Königsberg, Germany.

It was originally the Handelshof, a trade hall located at the square Hansaplatz (subsequently renamed Adolf-Hitler-Platz in 1934 and now Victory Square) and near the Ostmesse trade fair.

Its predecessor, Kneiphof Town Hall, subsequently became a museum until its destruction during World War II.

The building remained the municipal seat of government in post-war Kaliningrad, receiving a new facade.
