The town hall in Löbau , a town in the Görlitz district in Upper Lusatia in Saxony , was built between 1711 and 1714. The baroque town hall at Altmarkt 1 is a protected cultural monument .

The building was erected after the city fire of 1711, with the tower from the 15th century being integrated. The Zittau master mason Rößler used the remains of the burned down town hall for the new building. The stately building with central buttress and triangular pediment has a balcony . On the market side there is a closed arcade that was redesigned in 1891/92.

The spacious entrance area is painted in multiple colors and adorned with the city arms. The stucco ceiling and several paintings by the Zittau painter Nikolaus Prescher from 1713 have been preserved in the mayor's office .
