    Half-timbered building from 1712, fundamentally renovated until 1996.

      Like many other houses and parts of the city church of St. Maria, the recently completed Boizenburg town hall was the victim of a major city fire in 1709, in which more than 150 houses were destroyed by the flames. The engineer Jakob Reutz then redesigned the city center. In order to better meet fire protection requirements, the center was given a chessboard-like layout and at the same time its baroque character. As before, the new town hall should be at the center of the market square. Today the free-standing building is one of the most important examples of baroque half-timbered architecture. The special feature of this two-story half-timbered building is the arcade, which extends across the entire front and is supported by wooden supports. An open lantern tower crowns the middle of the hipped mansard roof and in the entrance area of the town hall the arcade was brought forward. The colonnades with the old city scales on the ceiling beams still remind of the former market activity.

      As part of the general urban renewal, the town hall was extensively renovated from 1993 to 1996 and restored in its original form from 1711. The strong red of the facade also corresponds to the design at that time.
