Town Hall

The city administration is located in the Hildesheim town hall. The core of the Gothic sandstone building was created around 1325, but like so many other things it was destroyed in the night of the bombing of World War II in 1945 and rebuilt.

It's right on the marketplace. The weekly market also takes place here, surrounded by beautiful old houses.

The Gothic Town Hall was completed in the second half of the 13th century using local sandstone, making it one of the oldest municipal buildings in the country. The monument was somewhat damaged in 1945 and was quickly restored and dedicated in 1954. One element that survived almost intact is the imposing fleur-de-lis tower, which looks much the same today as it did in the 13th century. In its east wall is a medieval inscription giving the length of a yarn measure for the market. The rest of the building has a late Gothic design from the 15th century, with a crow-stepped gable and a pointed arched arcade. The Town Hall's carillon can be heard and seen at 12:00, 13:00 and 17:00, and at 09:00 on market days. The Town Hall stands on the east side of the Market Square. The fanfare of the copper blower blows daily at 12 noon, the carillon sounds shortly after 12 noon, at 1 p.m. and 5 p.m., and on market days also at 9 a.m.hi-rose.de/rathaus-hildesheim
