Altes Rathaus Darmstadt, Town hall at Marktplatz, Darmstadt, Germany
The Old Town Hall stands at the southern edge of the Market Square with a stone foundation and multiple levels featuring administrative offices.
First mentioned in 1397 as 'spielhus', the building underwent reconstruction between 1598 and 1601, transforming from a timber-framed structure into a stone edifice.
The building contains a ceremonial hall on the third floor that served for municipal gatherings, celebrations, and important community functions.
The registry office operates Monday through Wednesday from 8:00 AM to 11:30 AM, with additional Wednesday afternoon hours from 2:00 PM to 5:30 PM.
An iron measuring rod called the 'Darmstadt Elle' was installed beside the portal in 1817, serving as the standard measurement until 1872.
