As the name suggests, this rather imposing building with a somewhat schizophrenic architectural style on the corner of Cesta Prvih Borcev and Trg Izgnancev was built at the turn of the 20th century as a place for the town's then large German population to meet and socialise. The building itself and activities that went on there served to increase national tensions with Brežice's Slovene residents, who built their own National Centre just down the street shortly thereafter. Today the German House is home to the local court of Brežice.
