The Detmold Town Hall (also New Town Hall ) is a listed building in Detmold in the Lippe district ( North Rhine-Westphalia ).
history
The old town hall existed from the end of the 16th century until 1827 and divided today's market square in a north-south direction into the church square and the old market square. This building was demolished together with three adjoining town houses in 1827 to make way for the new town hall.
Between 1828 and 1830 the new town hall was built according to a design by the master builder Kühnert from Rinteln. The construction work was carried out by the site manager Ferdinand Wiss together with the master mason Rakelmann. The topping-out ceremony took place on December 2, 1829, and the town hall was ready for occupancy in January 1831. In the next two years the churchyard was leveled and paved.
The original building consisted of two wings arranged at right angles to the market and the Lange Straße, with a small stall in the inner corner. In 1902 the town hall building was extended to the northwest and received its present square shape.
The interior of the town hall was last rebuilt in 1993/94.
architecture
The three-storey plastered building , executed in a classical form, is covered by a flat hipped roof. The building stone of the corner pilaster strips are designed as diamond cut-square, under the roof with clear brackets and around the windows with straight Hood Mold . The building has nine window axes towards the market square and seven towards Langen Strasse. On the west side (towards the Church of the Redeemer ) what were previously three window axes have become six. The main entrance to the market is determined by a large, double flight of stairs, on the first floor with a column portico , consisting of four Doric columns with attached triangular gables.
