Hôtel des Postes

other

The Hôtel des Postes stands out for its massive, sand-colored facade and the distinct rounded corner that anchors the intersection. Completed in nineteen oh seven, this building was designed by German architect Ernst Moeller while Strasbourg was part of the German Empire. Its heavy, neo-Renaissance style and ornate stonework reflect the ambitious civic projects of that era. Kaiser Wilhelm the second reportedly ordered the post office built to demonstrate the administrative power of his empire in this newly annexed territory.
