timeline
In 1220, Nikolaus von Werle laid out the city according to plan with a grid-shaped road network and in 1236 Malchin received city rights. In the center of the street grid was the market and the church and soon afterwards the first town hall was built here.
The first town hall probably came from the 13/14. Century, the Gothic cellar with cross vault is preserved.
The second town hall, a two-part building, was built in 1745 in the Baroque style on the basement of the previous building.
The third town hall was built in 1842 through a comprehensive and enlarged renovation with Gothic and classicist forms. It had a massive, protruding crenellated crown. The state parliament hall was located on the upper floor. Already in 1900 it was largely redesigned and received its decorative gable. It was rebuilt in 1925-27 after a fire. The town hall is decorated with 72 guild signs. The town hall tower can be climbed and offers a lot of views.
Around 1996 this building was again extensively renovated.
