Later in our visit we went to see the PostParkasse, the Post Office Savings Bank he designed in 1906 is still operating as a bank. Here we can see the change towards functionality. The facade is made of marble slabs that are riveted on with aluminum bolts over the brick structure. He left the bolt heads visible.
The interior is very expansive and filled with light due to an arched glass roof and a floor covered with glass blocks.
The marriage of functionality and design becomes evident by the way the heating system was incorporated and enhances the interior
