Rathaus

In the location's words:

The town hall in Chemnitz is an impressive building with an interesting mix of different architectural styles that impressively reflects the history of the city. It consists of two parts: the Old Town Hall and the New Town Hall.

Old Town Hall

The Old Town Hall was built in the Renaissance style and dates back to the 15th century. It is one of the oldest buildings in the city and features beautiful decorative elements, such as the striking Gothic stepped gable and filigree windows. The Ratskeller, one of the historic gastronomic sights, is particularly striking. Another highlight of the Old Town Hall is the tower, which has a characteristic, slightly asymmetrical shape and is part of Chemnitz's cityscape.

New Town Hall

The New Town Hall was inaugurated in 1907 and combines neo-Gothic and Art Nouveau elements. It was built right next to the Old Town Hall and was designed by the architect Richard Möbius. A remarkable feature is the town hall tower, which is over 50 meters high and towers above the building, offering an impressive view over the city. The façade of the New Town Hall is richly decorated and features reliefs and figures depicting historical scenes and symbolic representations, giving the façade added charm.
