Town Hall (Hirschlanden)
The town hall in the Hirschlanden district of the city of Ditzingen was built in 1929 as a school building according to plans by the architect Wilhelm Dongus from Leonberg on what was then the northern outskirts.
The three-storey plastered building in homeland security style on a transverse rectangular floor plan is completed by a hipped roof with dormers. The front facade is dominated by the high main entrance and an overlying cement cast relief of a deer by the sculptor Fritz von Graevenitz . The inscription to those who protected their homeland 1914 - 1918 commemorates those who fell in the First World War .
After a renovation under the direction of the architect Arthur Borm (Hirschlanden), the municipal administration moved into the building in 1966. In the course of the renovation, the interior was artistically designed by Peter Hoffmann (Stuttgart) (bronze door with a millet scattering its grains, with reference to the place name Hirslanden ; spatula with symbolic representation of the most important professions in the community). Since the incorporation of the Hirschlanden community into the city of Ditzingen, the building has housed a citizens' office.
