The Zörbig town hall is a monument in the Anhalt-Bitterfeld district in Saxony-Anhalt.

Zörbig was already mentioned as a town in 1258, but only received municipal privileges in 1470. The town wall was built in the 16th century, but not much is known about the town hall. During the Thirty Years' War the city was hit 15 times, so that it was completely destroyed. Zörbig was only able to recover from this in the 19th century.[1]

The current town hall with its fortified north tower with battlements on the roof was built on the east side of the market in 1846. It initially had a pointed helmet on the tower, but this was removed in 1899.[2] The building also housed the Sparkasse and Ratskeller, so that the town hall was the social center of the city for a long time.[3] It is a listed building and has the registration number 094 90028 in the list of monuments.[4]

What is striking is the architectural style of the building, which presents itself as a late Gothic variety of brick Gothic that is rarely seen in Germany. There is a balcony above the entrance, and on the facade there is also a relief panel of an angel holding the city's coat of arms. It is still the seat of the city administration today. Between 2009 and 2013, the inside of the town hall was rebuilt.[5]
