The Schmargendorf Town Hall is the former town hall of the once-independent municipality of Schmargendorf, which was incorporated into Berlin in 1920 and has been a district of the Berlin borough of Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf since 2001. The historicist building was constructed between 1900 and 1902 according to plans by Otto Kerwien in the style of Brandenburg brick Gothic. Kerwien's design was inspired by the mostly medieval secular buildings of Tangermünde and Stendal. Today, it houses the district registry office, the music school, and the Adolf Reichwein Library, a branch of the city library.
