Old Town Hall (Oberkassel)
The old town hall in Oberkassel , a part of the Beuel district of Bonn , was the seat of the Oberkassel mayor from 1898 to 1969 (from 1927 the Oberkassel district ). It is located on the west side of Königswinterer Straße (house number 720). The Old Town Hall stands as a monument under monument protection .
history
The building was built in 1898 on the former property of the neighboring Villa Adrian (Königswinterer Straße 728) at a construction cost of 59,000 marks as the first town hall of the mayor of Oberkassel. Previously, the home of the respective mayor served as an administration building.
With the dissolution of the Oberkassel office and the incorporation of the Oberkassel community into Bonn as part of the local reorganization on August 1, 1969, the town hall lost its function. Since then it has been used by various associations, including the local homeland association.
architecture
The building is designed in the neo-Gothic style based on the model of Gothic town halls, which are particularly widespread in northern Germany and the Netherlands. It is two-storey built in field fire bricks with two-tone decorative shapes and has a four-storey tower in the center that houses the stairwell. The building has three window axes on the street front and four on the sides . At the top it is closed by a hipped roof. At the entrance there was originally a basement from which public announcements could be made. Formerly, wrought iron bars and brick pillars delimited the town hall from Königswinterer Straße.
