The Amtshauptmannhaus is a remarkable early Baroque building.

As the highest civil servant, the “Amtshauptmann” (“chief administrator”) was responsible for the administration and control of the Oranienburg district office with all its villages. He also supervised implementation of the Elector’s decrees and exercised judicial powers. The first Amtshauptmann of Oranienburg was Privy Councillor Otto von Schwerin.
