Town Hall (Heidelberg-Rohrbach)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Old town hall in Rohrbach

The former town hall in today's Heidelberg district of Rohrbach is a listed building.

It was built from 1811 to 1813 by Jacob Baumann according to plans by the master builder Wilhelm Frommel and served as the town hall of Rohrbach until the town was incorporated into Heidelberg in 1927 . The Heimatmuseum opened in 1971, but had to move out in 1995 because the city of Heidelberg needed space for the newly opened Citizens' Registration Office . In 2013 the citizens' office was housed in a neighboring building and the town hall has been available to the Rohrbach district association ever since.

The town hall is built in the classical style. The cubic building has an axially symmetrical façade with a gabled central projection , with a representative clock at the top. The tent roof ends in a roof turret with a bell. The windows on the ground floor and the entrance are from 1900. In 2013 the building was renovated. The Rohrbach town hall is very similar to the town hall in the Mannheim district of Sandhofen, which was also built by Wilhelm Frommel in 1810 .
