Paul Löbe Haus
This building to the west of the river Spree is part of the 'government ribbon'. It is connected to the Chancellery and together with the Marie-Elisabeth-Luders House on the opposite side of the Spree it forms a formal and functional whole. The building contains more than 900 offices for the parliamentary deputies. It's 200m long, 100m wide and 22m high. It has the form of a double comb with eight outer courtyards. The main entrance in the west is situated under a large imposing porch with four filigree columns. A large glass-roofed hall with glass-enclosed elevators and transparent staircases are in the middle of the block. The building is named after the last parliamentary president, until 1933, Paul Löbe (text from book 'Berlin-New Architecture').
