This building illustrates the former prosperity of the city's citizens. The magnificent town hall ballroom and the wedding room are located on the top floor. The ground floor and the basement are used as a museum. The town hall is considered a showpiece of German architecture.

Tangermünde's town hall was built in the 15th century. Today's rear, transverse part (court arbor) dates from 1430, the front annex protruding onto the market square from 1480. It is adorned with a 24m high display gable, which is basically a pure design element with no technical function. Its elaborate design is an expression of the wealth of the Hanse merchants, who ultimately financed the council system.

It is also worth making a detour to the harbor, from where you have a great view of the historic city wall.

Beautiful old town! Definitely worth exploring! Tip: visit the Kaffeerösterei in the old town

The story of the historical Grete Minde was passed on with the help of Theodor Fontane, who had written a novella about Grete. It deals with the story of a young woman who, out of disappointment and hatred, set Tangermünde on fire and caused endless suffering. In 1619 Grete Minde was executed for this act. The monument to Grete Minde - a life-size bronze sculpture by Lutz Gaede - is located behind the historic town hall. The figure of a standing, stooped young woman, with her feet and hands in chains, was inaugurated in 2009. The fate of Grete Minde is a gruesome example of the raging of the Christian justice of the time.
