New City Hall Hannover by Roland Krause

The New Town Hall in Hanover is the town hall of the capital of Lower Saxony and the headquarters of the Hanover city administration under its Lord Mayor.[1] The Wilhelmine, palace-like magnificent building in eclectic style was built between 1901 and 1913. The city’s first town hall was the Old Town Hall, whose buildings were constructed from 1230 onwards. In 1863 the city administration left the Old Town Hall and moved to the nearby Wangenheimpalais. The New Town Hall is embedded in the ten hectare Maschpark on the southern edge of the city centre, outside the historic city centre of Hanover. The square in front of the north wing, which faces north-northeast, is now called Trammplatz. It was created especially in connection with the construction of the town hall and was named after the former city director Heinrich Tramm. The south side of the building faces the Maschteich.
