building

The former office building next to the chapel served as the courthouse until 1898 . In 1891 the Ehringshausen municipal council decided to build a new courthouse on a hill next to the former office building. The district builder Wilhelm Witte was commissioned with the execution . Construction work began in 1897. The new district court building was inaugurated on October 13, 1898 and handed over to its intended use. The front of the building is designed on the valley side with different asymmetrical forms of the neo-renaissance . Today the building serves as the town hall of the Ehringshausen community and also contains a police station. The building is a listed building, but has recently been structurally changed through various renovations.
