history

The site of today's town hall was the location of a building mentioned in the 16th century. Around the middle of the 19th century, the property was owned by the northern merchant Sicco Doden Cremer, who passed it on to his son-in-law , the Mennonite preacher Laurens van der Hülst. Van der Hülst had the existing building demolished in 1855 and the building that has been preserved until today was erected on the same site. He used this as a house. His son Theodor van Hülst grew up in the building. After Laurens' death, Theodor inherited the building in September 1876.

In May 1884 he sold it for 50,000  marks to the city of Norden, which had previously been urgently looking for a replacement for the old town hall , which had become too small . The city's magistrate met for the first time in the New Town Hall on September 23, 1884 .
