Herford Town Hall is an impressive example of neo-baroque architecture. It comprises an 87-metre-long main wing flanked by two side wings with different floor plans. The tower-like elevated central section of the main building, which is topped by an attic and a ridge turret, is particularly characteristic. The importance of the town hall for the town of Herford is reflected in the meeting rooms at the heart of the building. The large council chamber impresses with its rare round shape, which can only be found in a few German town halls.
The first floor, slightly raised above the plinth level, also promises architectural discoveries. From here, a majestic staircase leads to the terrace, which extends in front of the main wing and invites you to take a look around. The historic Ratskeller, a place for social gatherings, awaits you in the basement. In addition, the "Zellentrakt" memorial in the east wing offers a contemplative contrast to the lively hustle and bustle.
The town hall is not only an administrative building, but also a cultural and historical point of Herford. With every step you take on its stairs and through its corridors, you can sense the big and small stories that this impressive building has to tell. Interactive and lively - a must for those interested in architecture and history.
The town hall can also be explored as part of a guided tour with a city guide. Please contact the tourist information office.
