Hamburg City Hall, Germany, this place used to be the place where the unit worked here, but now it has been changed to an attraction. You can visit here every Monday to Sunday. I feel that the working environment inside is very good. You can also understand the history of Hamburg, Germany.
Town halls across Germany are generally historic and ancient buildings that represent the most local architectural style. Hamburg City Hall is one of Germany's most spectacular parliament and government buildings and the pride of the entire city. Located in the heart of the intersection of Lake Ulster and the Elbe, built in 1886, it is a Renaissance-style building built on the foundations of 4,000 oak stakes
Not far away from the central station, the city hall is located in the middle of the city. Its square serves as a location for the annual Christmas markets too.
Hamburg City Hall is the city hall in Hamburg, Germany. It is located in the old city center, in front of the city hall square for celebrations, and behind the Hamburg Stock Exchange. The main shopping street Monckberg Street connects the city hall and Hamburg main train station. St. Peter's Church is a landmark nearby. The building is designed in a neo-Renaissance style and is one of the few historical buildings in Hamburg that have been preserved in its entirety. The building was built during a period of wealth and prosperity, when the Kingdom of Prussia defeated France in the Franco-Prussian War and established the German Empire, so the new Hamburg City Hall reflects Hamburg's wealth, the independence of the Hamburg state, and the Republic tradition of Hamburg.
Cool, big and spectacular! You can also tour the inside. The illumination at night is also beautiful.
It seems to be the only place in all the city halls in Germany. It is a beautiful place to see when it is lit at night.
