It is a beautiful town hall, unfortunately we had no time for a tour. However, we went on our own and looked at the premises available to the public.
The Rote Rathaus is the seat of the mayor or mayor and the Senate of Berlin. In addition, the striking building is a famous landmark of the city. The building near Alexanderplatz has its name not thanks to a political orientation, but from the facade with bright red bricks. The Red Town Hall was built between 1861 and 1869 according to the designs of Hermann Waesemann. The first Magistrate meeting in the town hall was held four years after the laying of the foundation stone. The red color of the bricks, which develop your luminosity particularly beautifully in the evening sun, is particularly noticeable. The nearly 74 meter high tower is visible. The town hall was built on a square floor plan and has four building wings that surround three open courtyards. After damage in the Second World War due to bomb attacks, the town hall was reconstructed. In the city hall there are over 247 rooms, among them are worth mentioning. The coat of arms was originally the meeting place of the municipal council. The name of the hall stems from the windows, because in them all the coats of arms of Berlin and the coats of arms of all Berlin districts are incorporated. Today, above all, state guests are welcomed here. The Great Festsaal was created during the construction for celebrations. Until 1990, the East Berlin City Ordering Assembly met here. As the largest room in the town hall, it is used today for major events such as receptions or ceremonies. The Column Hall of the Red Town Hall is particularly beautiful. The library was originally housed in the nine meter high hall. Today the Column Hall is used for exhibitions and events.
The Red Town Hall is a symbol of Berlin, it is a place where you can experience the history and beauty of the city. This impressive landmark is definitely worth a visit.
It is nice to visit the Red Town Hall. It's not possible in every city. The building is quite magnificent inside, which you don't expect when you look at the building from outside.
