Old Town Hall Wittenberg

The Old Town Hall of Lutherstadt Wittenberg is located in the center of the old town on the market square. It was the seat of the Wittenberg city administration from the 16th century to the year 2000.

With the flourishing of the city of Wittenberg at the time of the Reformation, its population also increased. Therefore, the old original town hall was no longer sufficient for the requirements now given, so that starting from 1521 under the direction of Bastian Kruger with the preparations and from 1523 with the gradual construction of the town hall began. The construction was completed in 1541.

The clearly structured facade of the town hall has the characteristics of three stylistic epochs. While above all the curtain-arched windows of the first two storeys are still influenced by late Gothic, the gables and cornice strips indicate the actual period of origin, the Renaissance. In 1573, deficiencies in the building necessitated a reconstruction. The current entrance portal with its lush decor and the bell tower with the sinner's bell were added.
