The town hall was built between 1526 and 1552 after the town fire of 1526 had destroyed the previous building.
From 1914 to 1917 a renovation took place according to plans by Otto Stiehl, in which, among other things, east and west gables were added and the arcades were opened to the arcades. The last comprehensive renovation to date took place in 1998-1999.

Gardelegen's town hall is located in the center of the historic old town on the triangular town hall square. First mentioned in 1241, it originally served as a merchant's and showroom. After a devastating fire in 1526, the building was rebuilt in the late Gothic style between 1527 and 1552.

In the early 20th century, the town hall underwent extensive renovations. Between 1914 and 1917, numerous alterations were carried out under the direction of architect Otto Stiehl. These included the addition of the east and west gables and the opening of the arcades. Another extensive renovation of the building took place between 1998 and 1999.

The town hall consists of four connected structures: a rectangular hall building, a Hausmann tower on the northwest side, a perpendicular building on the southeast side, and a square building on the northeast side. The architectural style combines late Gothic elements with Baroque and Neo-Gothic extensions. Particularly striking is the tower with its curved dome and double-pierced lantern, which – along with St. Nicholas' Church and St. Mary's Church – dominates the city skyline. Today, the town hall serves as the seat of the city administration. However, some administrative functions have been relocated to a neighboring building on Rudolf-Breitscheid-Straße.
