Leipzig: The overall biggest in Germany, by floor area largest in Europe, and at 114 meters tallest town hall of Germany and Europe.
Hamburg: At 112 meters the second tallest in Germany and in Europe.
Köln (Cologne): The oldest of these, built in the beginning of the 15th century.
Stuttgart and Dortmund: The war. They could have rebuilt but chose not to.
Essen: They sold it in the 1960s, the new owner demolished it and built an emporium. Yep, it’s sad. At least it wasn’t that old.
I like how they all look super historical and then Essen just looks like the most depressing office hellscape ever.
Hamburg is definitely a place I can recommend visiting.
Hamburg all the way 💪💪💪💪
I’ve heard of every single city except for Essen, why is that?
Tbf Hamburg, Berlin and Bremen aren’t really just “town halls” but local parliaments.
Them being called “town halls” is mostly just a historical quirk, their job is a bit different and more large scale than normal town hall. So them being a bit fancier is natural.
for me the winner is Köln (second: Bremen, third: Frankfurt am Main)
I can’t choose just one, there are like five tied for first place, and that’s great!
Köln Bremen Dortmund are my top 3. I really don’t dig XIX century cookie cuter historicism that most of the rest represent
The one in Hannover can definitely compete with all of them.
Stuttgart, Dortmund, Essen….back to the drawing board. If even bloody Frankfurt A.M of all places can have a nice town hall then you lot got no excuses.
Edit: wrote Dresden instead of Stuttgart because I’m a doofus.
Hamburg winning as usual
My lovely Bremen. <3
Stuttgart, Essen and Dortmund. The Townhalls really represent the beauty of the cities…

Frankfurt was built on Minecraft
[You can’t just post the cologne town hall without posting a picture of the guy giving himself a blowjob](https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/bqf3j9/on_the_walls_of_cologne_city_hall_hidden_under_a/)
Hannover City Hall is pretty sick if you want to look it up. Its Germanys 13 largest City
