After Zittau had been almost completely destroyed in the Seven Years War by the Austrian army, the citizens began in the late 18th century with the reconstruction. Construction of the New Town Hall began in 1840. Just five years later, the impressive building, which was based on building plans by Karl Friedrich Schinkel, was completed and opened.

The town hall was built in the years 1840-1845 Neo-Renaissance style, integrating the rest of the town hall, destroyed in 1757. At the main entrance are two oversized figures, once the Sophia (goddess of wisdom) and right Themis (goddess of justice). Striking is the standing on the left side of the town hall tower with a height of 50 m.

The citizens' hall is also a dream. Anyone who has the opportunity to visit it or even experience a concert there should definitely take the opportunity.
