After the demolition of a brewery, the marketplace of the city was built on the gable side of the town hall. Its eastern boundary is formed by the town hall. Towards the south and west, it is bordered by town houses, and on the northern flank the main highway of the city, the Schlossstrasse (the B 187), passes the market place. In 1941 the place was converted into a water basin for extinguishing purposes. A town hall was first mentioned in 1490. 1560 there was a rebuilding. Destruction, reconstruction and construction extensions ensured that only in 1911 the final form of the Coswiger Town Hall was reached. The petite-looking building is built mainly in the Renaissance style.

The market square in Coswig (Anhalt) is the historic heart of the town and is characterized by striking buildings such as the Renaissance town hall and St. Nicolai Church. The town hall, first mentioned in 1490, is a striking example of the town's history. After its destruction in the Schmalkaldic War in 1547, it was rebuilt in the Renaissance style. Originally, it served as a repository for municipal records, the muskets of the civic militia, and the official beer measure. Over the centuries, the building was expanded, including the addition of an east wing for the town hall cellar in 1887 and a further extension in 1912. Today, the town hall functions as a modern administrative center and houses, among other things, the Citizens' Office, the City Information Center, and the Registry Office. The nearby St. Nicolai Church, with its 52-meter-high tower, is the oldest surviving building in the town and, with its historical and architectural significance, lends the market square a special atmosphere. The market square itself is not only a place of history, but also a lively meeting place for markets and events, which makes Coswig's cultural identity visible and attracts both locals and visitors.
