Federal Ministry of Finance

The Finance Ministry building is not any longer an official building. It was designed by Hans Sagebiel and its construction began in 1935. At that time it was the longest building in Europe (now the longest in Berlin) and was built as the headquarters of the Ministry of Reich Aviation, and the bureaucracy of the Luftwaffe. It suffered damage during the war and afterwards it was used by the government of the GDR as the House Ministries.
