Architecture and history
The old tax office was built in two stages. The western section was built in 1908 according to plans by the architect Paul Meissner . The second construction phase with clock turrets was built in the early 1930s . The reliefs made of red sandstone at today's main entrance were designed by the sculptor Fritz Schwarzbeck . In contrast to the east wing, the older west wing is richly decorated on the outside. On the west wing there are sandstone window frames , door frames and cornices . Stylistically, the four-storey building with its plastered facade and its gently sloping slate-covered roof belongs to the historicism phase .
