The Rotes Rathaus (German: [ˈʁoːtəs ˈʁaːtˌhaʊs] , Red City Hall) is the town hall of Berlin, Germany, located in the Mitte district on Rathausstraße near Alexanderplatz. It is the home to the governing mayor and the government (the Senate of Berlin) of the state of Berlin. The name of the landmark building dates from the façade design with red clinker bricks.
