The City District Office at Freidrich-Schmidt-Platz off Landesgerichsstraße behind the Rathaus is a rather imposing five-storey building which is the home to the offices of the Einwanderung und Staatsbürgerschaft (Immigration and Citizenship) offices. It is thirteen bays wide with a central forward-projecting three bay section with large pilasters.
Above this central section is an ornate balustered parapet and set back turret with pilasters, cornices, swages and corner finials. High up in the turret is a clock and the hemisperical tiled roof is surmounted by a globe with its axis correctly orientated. The clock is about 1.5m in diameter with a white face. The minute and hour markers are black, the quarter marks larger than the other hour marks. The hands, also black are fairly simple, the overall effect is modern with a hint of tradition. The single face is visible from Lichtenfelsgasse adjacent to the Rathaus.
There are recesses in the roof and cornices on the other three faces of the turret but no clock faces.
