Rathaus Marl, Architectural heritage monument in Marl, Germany.

The Rathaus Marl features two towers rising 42.6 meters high, constructed with concrete and incorporating suspended floor designs supported by central concrete cores.

Dutch architects Jacob Berend Bakema and Johannes Hendrik van den Broek won a limited European competition in 1958 to design this municipal building, completed in 1967.

The ground floor of Rathaus Marl contains the Glaskasten sculpture museum, which displays selections from the municipal art collection since 1979.

Located at Creiler Platz 1 in Marl, the building houses administrative offices in its towers while the council hall occupies the upper floor of the adjacent section.

The building represents the first suspension high-rise structure in Germany, with floors connected through inner concrete shafts and edges suspended from structural members.
