In 1905, the town hall was expanded into the building at Wichmannstrasse 19. In order to be able to reach all of the town administration's offices in one place, the town administration was moved to its current location at Karl-Liebknecht-Strasse 33/34 in 2000. The building at Wichmannstrasse 18 was privatized after almost 120 years of use as a public building and has since been used by various service providers in the center of the Fontane town of Neuruppin. Between 1993 and 1994, the town hall's building shell was renovated. The elaborately designed, street-side facade details were restored based on restoration findings. The renovation of the building shell was subsidized with urban development funds. At this time, the extensive renovation work began on the construction of the Bilderbogenpassage, which offers concentrated local shopping options as a center within the center. The simultaneous activities provided an impetus for the development of the inner city. The building, with its changes in use, is a living example of the city's development over the last 200 years. The Neuruppin city coat of arms above the main entrance still bears witness to its public use as a town hall.
