Town Hall (Heidelberg-Handschuhsheim)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Town hall Handschuhsheim

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

It was built in 1877/78. Before that, the Hornecksche Adelshof was located there. The new building served the municipality of Handschuhsheim as the town hall until the place was incorporated into Heidelberg in 1903 . Until 1930 it was still an administrative branch.

The town hall is reminiscent of the Italian palace architecture of the Renaissance. It is a five-axis building with two floors. On the central risalit there is a columned altan, above it a three-part window in the Palladi motif .

In the entrance, a memorial commemorates the dead of the French War in 1870. A vestibule staircase opens up the premises, a detention room, the old offices and the citizens' hall.
