Town hall

In the heart of the old town lies Dachau Town Hall, the seat of the city administration. The town hall, first mentioned in 1486, was rebuilt in 1614/15. Three hundred years later, the building was in such a poor state that it was demolished and replaced in 1934 with a new building. The rapid growth of the city after the Second World War made the construction of a larger town hall necessary. Through a modern intermediate building, the „Old Town Hall“ was connected to the facade of the former „Lebzelterhaus“, which had been owned by waxmakers and Lebzelters since the 16th century. The design for the new building was by Prof. Dr. Werner Fauser, and the stone work was done by the workshop of sculptor Reinhold Grübl. The construction was awarded the prize of the German Society of Architects. At the entrance to the viewing terraces behind the town hall, you will find a unique view. Two memorial plaques are located there, commemorating the Jewish victims of the Holocaust in Dachau. In addition, works by Dachau sculptors are also on display there.
