In 1925, Barth obtained the status of a district town. The building was constructed as the Office of the District Administrator of the Franzburg-Barth district according to the designs of the Berlin architect Professor Walter Brandt. Following the North german redbrick architectural style , it is decorated with beautiful gable ends and a gable-like central part. The residence of the District Administrator was accommodated in the side wing. Since 1946, this attractive building has been the headquarters of the town council.
