Town Hall at the Old Market Malchow

The Town Hall is the central, representative building in the historic city center.The building, set back from the Old Market Square, the surrounding buildings,
and the brick-faced, red District Court, forms the design focal point.It was built between 1818 and 1821 in the neoclassical style as a half-timbered building with a balcony. The so-called functional half-timbering was given a solid gray paint finish to give the building a more noble appearance, reminiscent of a solid structure.Until the completion of the District Court in 1881, court hearings also took place in the Town Hall. For this purpose, the city set up several heated prison cells on the ground floor of the Town Hall, which can still be seen today. These were used as detention cells until the 1950s.After repeated structural changes to and within the Town Hall at regular intervals, the renovation of this building in accordance with historic preservation regulations began in 2004. After years of decay, one of the oldest and most historic houses on the island was finally returned to its original use.inselstadt-malchow.de/verzeichnis/objekt.php?mandat=130338
