Gedung
Sate
The decision of the government to
move some departments from Batavia to Bandung was a big
impulse for the development of the city. First, in 1914, the
War Department was transported, and later in 1920 the
Department of Government buildings (Gedung Sate)
followed.
Gedung
Sate (Satay Building).
Because
of the special decoration on the roof, with somewhat
resemblance to with a stick of sate, the building was known as
Gedung Sate. It
was built with total cost 6
million gulden. This is the first building that constructed by
reinforced
concrete technology in Indonesia.

architect J. Gerber (1921), both elements of western and
eastern architecture were assimilated.You can see Gedung Sate
is the only one big building around its area in 1925.
