Rathaus, Municipal building from 1930 in Oberhausen, Germany

The Rathaus stands on Galgenberg hill, featuring a design that combines light natural stone with dark clinker brick in a modernist architectural style.

The building replaced an 1874 town hall that became inadequate for the rapidly growing city, with construction beginning after a 1910 architectural competition.

The council chamber contains an expressionist stucco ceiling and large windows with a balcony, representing the pinnacle of 1930s municipal architecture.

Located at Schwartzstrasse 72, the town hall functions as the primary administrative center for Oberhausen residents and houses city government offices.

Two sculptures by Adam Antes, representing trade and industry, adorn the building's exterior, reflecting the industrial heritage of the region.
