Designed by Carl Schwatlo and built between 1876 and 1881, the Kaiserliches Postfuhramt, the former imperial post office, was used by the German postal system until 1995. In the beginning, the building served as the base for cartage operations, a post office and the postal and telegraph school. After 1945 it was home to various government offices, such as GDR news distribution agency and a works polyclinic. Initial efforts at restoring the ancient brick monument, which had been started in the 1970s, remained uncompleted after German reunification in the year 1989. Since 2006, C/O Berlin has had temporary use of a large section of the building.
