Building
It was built between 1937 and 1939 and used by the local police and the Gestapo since August 1939. After World War II the Allied Military Government used the building as headquarters, and later in 1945 it was also used by the Stadtrat (city council), because the city hall in Wuppertal-Barmen was destroyed by area bombing in May 1943.
