Construction started in 1891 under architect Emil Schreiterer from Cologne and was built with neo-Gothic elements. The building survived World War II bombings with minimal damage.
The building displays symbols of city history and local identity throughout its spaces. Visitors notice these marks in the decorative details and furnishings that reflect Halle's character.
