The town hall is a listed secular building in Blomberg , a town in the Lippe district in North Rhine-Westphalia .
History and architecture
A previous building is proven for the time after 1447. Its ridge- vaulted vaulted cellar was included in the current house.
The building that characterizes the townscape was built from 1586 to 1587 along the eaves on the north side of the market. The two basement floors were planned by Hans Rade, the protruding half-timbered half- floor with the three conspicuous gables was designed by Heinrich and Veit Reckkamp. The arched portal is from 1905, above it is a coat of arms of Count Simon VI. attached to the lip . The structural members of the framework with mainly tooth-cut decoration and ornamental carvings were renewed after a fire in 1769. The richly decorated gable on the right narrow side remained unchanged. At the back there is an eclectic extension; it was built from 1903 to 1904 with corner turrets and a tail gable, according to plans by state architect Heinrich Ludwig Knoop.
The town hall was restored from 1966 to 1971. The stucco ceiling was reconstructed from fragments found in the neighboring room. The stone chimney marked 1613 with a coat of arms of the von Kerssenbrock family comes from the holdings of the Detmold State Museum. The remains of the richly carved wall panel are marked 1614. The leaded glass windows , including some by Ferdinand Müller , were made from 1904 to 1920.
Next to the town hall is a column of shame , which is said to date from the 16th century.
