The first town house in Lenzen fell victim to the city fire of 1558. It was said that "... all documenta and obligationibus were completely corrupted and turned to ashes". The newly built town halls were also destroyed in the town fires of 1652 and 1703. Today's town hall was built in 1713 “more graceful than before”. Around 1756 a tower clock was commissioned, which as a special feature only has one hand that only shows the hours. In 1994 the building was extensively renovated.de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenzen_(Elbe)
