Modern steel skeleton structure with natural stone cladding.

The original design did not plan a hipped roof, no arcades on the ground floor and no complete cladding with natural stone. In 1933 this design was changed in the sense of a more traditional design. Windows with glazing bars were inserted replacing horizontal format windows with vertical bars. After the war the windows were adapted to the original design.

Location: Nuremberg, Bahnhofsplatz 3

Design: Kohl, Johann

Main post office View from the northwest, the extension with the canteen on the top floor with the aluminium frame reduces the value of the original building
