Rathaus Emden, Town hall in Emden, Germany
Description
The Rathaus Emden sits at the end of an artificial harbor basin called Ratsdelft, displaying a modern structure with clean architectural lines and straightforward design. The building combines city administration offices with a museum that shows exhibitions related to the region's past.
History
The original structure was built in 1576 and served as the seat of city government for centuries. After being destroyed during World War II, it was completely reconstructed in the 1960s and reopened as a modern administrative building.
Culture
The town hall houses the East Frisian Regional Museum, displaying exhibitions about the region's past and how people lived here through different periods. Visitors can see objects and documents that reveal the connection between the city's maritime heritage and its development.
Practical
The building is located at Frickensteinplatz 2 near the city harbor and is easy to reach on foot. Visitors should know that the museum sections have separate opening times that differ from the administrative offices.
Did you know?
On the harbor side of the building, there is a detailed bronze relief showing the city's outline in miniature form. This artwork with the town hall as its central element is easy to miss but rewards closer inspection.
