The New Town Hall has been the seat of the Leipzig city administration since 1905. It is located within the Leipzig inner city ring on the southwest corner opposite today's Federal Administrative Court on Martin-Luther-Ring.

The new town hall is built in the style of historicism. Together with the town house, it is one of the largest town hall buildings in the world with a floor area of approx. 10,000 m² and almost 600 rooms and is the largest town hall building in the German Empire and still in Germany today. The town hall tower, built on the foundations of the Pleißenburg tower, is the highest in Germany with a height of 114.7 meters. On the south-west facade are the five statues "Craft", "Justice", "Book Art", "Science" and "Music" by the artists Arthur Trebst, Johannes Hartmann, Adolf Lehnert, Josef Mágr and Hans Zeissig. The town hall clock, which is illuminated blue at night, contains the Latin inscription MORS CERTA, HORA INCERTA (death is certain, the hour uncertain), in the vernacular "the clocks are sure to go wrong". The female gable figure above the clock symbolizes the truth. The west gable, on the other hand, is the subject of the personification of "The Official Secret" by Johannes Hartmann.

The Ratskeller Leipzig is located in the vaulted cellar, a restaurant that emerged from the earlier historic wine cellar. There is also a public canteen.

The town hall was built on the former foundations of Pleissenburg. The tower Pleissenburg was preserved as a symbol of Leipzig, and integrated into the building.

Actually Rathausbrunnen with location Burgplatz in front of the entrance to the Ratskeller. The fountain was erected in 1908. Due to the fountain motifs (flute players, children), the fountain is also freely named after the fairy tale "The Pied Piper of Hameln" as a Pied Piper Fountain.
