    In the basement there is the canteen of the Red Town Hall which usually cooks very tasty and at super low prices.

        Before today's council building was built, Karl Friedrich Schinkel had submitted in 1817 a series of redesign plans of the old town hall. These were probably not the ideas of the Municipal Baudeputation, because this wrote in 1857/1858 a competition (a competition) for a complete new city hall building, "a worthy of the city worthy monument" should arise. Renowned architects had submitted designs, including Friedrich von Schmidt (who had planned the Vienna City Hall), Eduard Knoblauch and Ernst Klingenberg and Friedrich Adler, Hermann Nicolai and Robert Cremer. Although the builders mentioned received prizes for their designs, they were not built afterwards. Thus, the Prussian Royal Building Council Hermann Friedrich Waesemann received in 1859 the contract for the construction according to their own designs. In that he worked in accordance with the Council ideas some ideas of the competition.

        The construction took place in two stages between 1860 and 1869. First, the builders erected the Silesian granite pedestal, which was clad in red clinker brickwork and the two parts of the building along the Jüdenstraße and Königstraße. After the old town hall had been carefully removed, the other parts of the building followed. Model for the architecture should have been the town hall in Thorn in West Prussia. Other sources call influences of the Upper Italian Renaissance for the facades.

        The building replaced several partially medieval buildings and occupies a whole block of streets. The medieval court arbor, part of the old town hall, was demolished in 1871. Original parts of it used Heinrich Strack for an identical copy built in the park Babelsberg. The final construction costs for the new council building amounted to more than ten million marks, as a default, only three million were planned.
