Town Hall

The city hall is the seat of the senate of the “Free and Hanse town Hamburg”. It was built in 1886-1897 in Neo-Renaissance style. After the city hall was completely burned down in 1842, the council moved in temporary premises - for 55 years! The new city hall was opened in 1897, has 647 rooms and is build upon over 4000 oak piles. Quite in contrast to hanseatic style, the town hall shines with an elaborately decorated facade including a total of 20 statues of emperors. Above the main gate there is written in Latin: "The freedom that the ancestors won, the descendants should preserve worthily”. "The ornate wrought iron grille door of the main entrance leads into the town hall entrance, which is carried by 16 sandstone columns that are painted with 68 portraits of important Hamburg citizens. The staircase was made of Sardinian marble stones and shows the course of human life. The hall of citizenship is designed rather simple: Parliament meets here every second Tuesday at 3 pm.
