Completed in 1905 on the site of the former Pleissenburg fortress, the New Town Hall has served as the headquarters of Leipzig’s city administration ever since. Designed in a historicist style with neo-Renaissance influences, the vast complex is renowned for its richly decorated façade, castle-like courtyards, and monumental staircases. Its most iconic feature is the soaring main tower, rising to 114.8 meters, making it the tallest city hall tower in Germany. With more than 1,700 rooms spread across its wings, it is also one of the largest municipal buildings in the world. Beyond its administrative role, the New Town Hall has become a symbol of Leipzig’s resilience and ambition, reflecting the city’s transformation at the turn of the 20th century. Today, visitors are drawn not only to its architectural grandeur but also to the panoramic views from the tower, which reveal Leipzig’s historic core and modern skyline. As both a working seat of government and a cultural monument, the New Town Hall embodies the city’s enduring spirit of civic pride and progress.
