History and architecture

In front of the building itself, the town hall park was completed. This was designed in 1873 by the city gardener Rudolph Siebeck. Only then was the foundation stone of the town hall laid, the construction of which was completed after 10 years of work.

With bricks as the basic substance, the facade of the town hall was clad with natural stone. These include materials such as slate, marble and lime. The 103-meter high main tower is crowned with the so-called Town Hall Man. In addition, there are four other towers.
The magnificent premises of the town hall also provide a setting for cultural events.
