Leipzig, Germany has a New Town Hall which cannot be mistaken for its predecessor, the Old Town Hall.
The name of the building can be misleading, it is actually over 100 years old, with construction beginning in 1899.
Neues Rathaus, as it's known in German, is the seat of the local government.
It is located in Leipzig's southwest historic old town area.
The main tower of the building measures 361 feet, making it the largest town hall in the world.
It took six years to complete the New Town Hall, the extraordinary results of which are blatantly visible.

Stadtgeschichtliches Museum (City History Museum) Leipzig, Altes Rathaus (Old Town Hall)
The City History Museum is the historical memory of the city of Leipzig and consists of a network of several museums, each with different topics. Leipzig's grand Altes Rathaus (Old City Hall), is one of the most important Renaissance buildings remaining in Germany.
The city had a town hall from as early as the middle of the 14th century when the citizens of Leipzig felt that a building was required to house a large hall, the council chambers, the offices of the town clerk, city archives and municipal administrative offices, etc. However, the current Renaissance structure of the Altes Rathaus, built in 1556, can be attributed to Hieronymus Lotter, who was a businessman and several times Mayor of Leipzig. The building was renovated between 1905-1909.
The ballroom of the Old Town Hall is 53 metres long and was previously used for celebrations by the Saxon princes, aristocrats weddings, craft festivals and student balls. Court proceedings also took place here. At the top of the building, just below the roof, is an inscription that goes all round the building. It is the longest building inscription in all of Germany. Together with the Council Chamber the ballroom has one of the most attractive interiors in Leipzig and hence its usage for grand festivities.
With the building of the New City Hall in 1905, the city's administrative services were moved to the new building. Between 1905-1909, the Altes Rathaus underwent substantial reconstruction to house the Leipzig Museum of City History. The Leipzig Museum keeps records of all developments and events in Leipzig from the Middle Ages up to the present time. The Museum is one of Leipzig's most visited sights.
The Altes Rathaus is also used for other cultural and concert events in the city of Leipzig. Along the arcade there are many shops selling souvenirs and gifts.
Neues Rathaus LEIPZIG - LEIPZIGs Geschichte im Zeitraffer
Das Neue Rathaus in Leipzig wurde 1899 begonnen zu bauen - Robin Wood Le hat ein kleines Stück Geschichte der Stadt in einen Zeitraffer gepackt.
Bereits seit den 1870er Jahren gab es erste Überlegungen, der im Alten Rathaus untergebrachten Stadtverwaltung ein neues Domizil zuzuweisen, das der wachsenden Bedeutung Leipzigs als Großstadt gerecht werden sollte. Nachdem mehrere Pläne verworfen wurden, erwarb die Stadt 1895 vom Königreich Sachsen die Pleißenburg, auf welcher sich zuvor die Universitätssternwarte bis 1860 befunden hatte, welche dann ins Joachimstal verlegt wurde.[1], um auf dem Gelände das neue Rathaus der Stadt Leipzig zu errichten. Maßgabe beim folgenden Wettbewerb, bei dem sich Architekten aus dem gesamten Reichsgebiet beteiligten, war, dass die Turm-Silhouette der Pleißenburg als bekanntes Leipziger Wahrzeichen erhalten bleiben sollte. 1897 ging der erste Preis der Ausschreibung, bei der die teilnehmenden Architekten die Entwürfe anonym abgaben, an den Architekten und Leipziger Stadtbaudirektor Hugo Licht. Mit der bauplastischen Ausgestaltung des neuen Rathauses wurde der Bildhauer Georg Wrba beauftragt.[2]
Die Grundsteinlegung für das Neue Rathaus erfolgte am 19. Oktober 1899. Nach knapp sechsjähriger Bauzeit wurde es am 7. Oktober 1905 – in Anwesenheit des sächsischen Königs Friedrich August III. – seiner Bestimmung übergeben. Im Jahr 1912 erfolgte jenseits der Lotterstraße die Eröffnung des Stadthauses mit zusätzlichen 300 Räumen. Der ebenfalls unter Leitung Hugo Lichts errichtete Erweiterungsbau ist durch einen zweigeschossigen Zwischenbau (im Volksmund Beamtenlaufbahn genannt) mit dem Neuen Rathaus verbunden.
Die Zerstörungen durch den Zweiten Weltkrieg wurden bis 1949 beseitigt.

1945 Mass Suicide Party in Leipzig, Germany
Leipzig, Germany. April 13, 1945. Shots of the ruined city and corpses of suicides. Among them the Volkssturm local leader and the Deputy Mayor of Leipzig with his wife and daughter, who committed suicide in the Neues Rathaus as American troops were entering the city. The city's Mayor and his family also killed themselves.
In Leipzig G.I.s scouted the deserted Rathaus (City Hall) and reported as follow : There's some civilian stiffs upstairs.
In his solid mayoral chair sat Oberbürgermeister Alfred Freiberg, his sightless eyes fixed on the carved ceiling. In armchairs beside him, waxen-faced in death, sat his matronly wife and bespectacled daughter. In an adjoining room Stadtkämmerer (City Treasurer) Kurt Lisso, his wife and daughter also sat in poisoned death. The rigid bodies of four Volkstürmers sprawled in other offices.
Two, it was plain, had sat across a table, sipping brandy until one had drunk enough to pick up a machine pistol, shoot his comrade and then himself.
16mm Kodachrome rarely seen footage filmed by the 69th Infantry Division Combat-Camera-Unit.
Germany is stricken by a series of unprecedented waves of suicides during the final days of the Nazi regime. The reasons for these waves of suicides are numerous and include the effects of Nazi propaganda, the example of the suicide of Adolf Hitler, victims' attachment to the ideals of the Nazi party, and a reaction to the loss of the war and, consequently, the anticipated Allied occupation of Nazi Germany.
On this website you can see the outstanding Elizabeth 'Lee' Miller's photos of the same suicides appearing in the clip:
