Town hall Ennepetal
The Ennepetal town hall is a building complex in Altenvoerde (postal address Bismarckstraße 21 ) that serves as the town hall of the North Rhine-Westphalian town of Ennepetal . The complex essentially consists of three neighboring and partly interconnected buildings, which were built in 1910–1911 (old building), 1971 (administration building II) and 1994–1996 (administration building III).
history
The old building, which was built in 1911 and has been a listed building since 1984 , was built by the architect Gustav Wenner in the neo- baroque style as a girls' home for the workers of the screw company Bödecker, Ebbinghaus & Co. Between 1937 and 1949 it served as the office building of the Milspe-Voerde office . On April 1, 1949, the office was dissolved and the two independent municipalities Voerde and Milspe merged to form the town of Ennepetal, so that the office building now became the town hall of the new town.
