Großröhrsdorf Town Hall

Impressive building, which reflects the former wealth of the city.

"The rooms of the former municipal office no longer corresponded to the conditions at the time. The rooms were too narrow and too small. So it was decided to build a new town hall, the cornerstone of which was laid on May 27, 1908. Over a year later, on September 22, 1909, the inauguration of the Art Nouveau town hall in Großröhrsdorf took place.The idea of converting the village into a town grew among the residents. In 1873, the 1832 town ordinance was revised. After that, the residents of Großröhrsdorf demanded that an application be submitted to the Ministry of the Interior in Dresden to convert the village into a town. There were repeated discussions about this in the municipal council, but the idea was not taken up again until February 18, 1924. A month later, it was unanimously decided to submit an application. The ministry inspected the place and the administration and the application was subsequently approved. In a decree of July 10, 1924, the community was now allowed to call itself a "city". This event was then celebrated on October 11. "
