Rathaus Bocholt, Municipal administration and cultural center in Bocholt, Germany.

Rathaus Bocholt is a glass-fronted administration and culture building on an artificial island in the Bocholter Aa, designed by Gottfried Böhm and opened in 1977. Light green steel elements divide the transparent facade horizontally, while closed sections such as the theatre are clad in light red brick. Two small bridges lead to the central foyer, and a bay window to the right of the main entrance recalls the Renaissance oriel of the historic town hall.

The city council approved a new administrative building and a theatre in late 1972, and Gottfried Böhm won the architecture competition. The building was inaugurated in 1977 at a cost of 38 million DM. Because the new town hall also could not cover the city administration's long-term space needs, additional premises were rented in the city, for example in the Shopping Arkaden in 2000.

The city hall houses a theater with 700 seats that regularly hosts performances and events for the community. This venue serves as the central gathering place where residents come together for cultural programs and celebrations.

A citizen service center offers administrative services such as identity documents, vehicle registration, and municipal information. Check opening hours in advance, as they may vary seasonally.

The facade facing Berliner Platz carries an ornamental inscription of dates and facts from Bocholt's history, including a beech tree and the city coat of arms. Right of the main entrance, an oriel echoes the decorative oriel of the Renaissance old town hall at the market square.
