Ständehaus der Provinz Sachsen

The Ständehaus is an administrative and events venue in Merseburg featuring notable architectural details from its original construction period. The main hall showcases a coffered ceiling and large-scale wall paintings created by artist Hugo Vogel.

The building was completed in 1895 and originally served as the meeting place for the Provincial Committee of Saxony. Following 1933, its political functions changed before the structure underwent major renovation and reopened as a cultural venue in the early 2000s.

The building once served as the heart of regional governance and political decision-making. Today, visitors experience the grand interior with its artistic wall paintings that define the character of the main hall.

The building is accessible for guided tours and events, offering modern meeting spaces with technical equipment available. A café on-site provides a comfortable place to rest between touring and attending events.

The building is part of the FrauenOrte network of Saxony-Anhalt, which documents and highlights historical contributions of women in the region. This designation honors women whose lives and work connect to this location.
