Historical Buildings

If there were a beauty contest for town halls, Wittenburg's would probably be one of the favorites for the winning title. With its double-flight staircase, archway and four massive rectangular towers, the restored building is more reminiscent of a castle than an administrative seat.

One could hardly imagine a more beautiful setting for a fairy tale than the Wittenburg town hall. Its unusual architectural style, based on English Tudor Gothic, makes the Wittenburg town hall unique among the town halls of Mecklenburg. It was built in 1852 according to the plans of the Schwerin court architect Georg Adolf Demmler and was ceremoniously inaugurated on January 8, 1853. Today, the Wittenburg town hall is one of the most important buildings from the period of historicism. After extensive renovation in 1996, it now shines in new splendor and is a very popular photo motif.
