Historisches Rathaus Paderborn, Renaissance town hall in Paderborn, Germany

The Historical Town Hall features three gables with a main one in the center and two smaller ones on the sides, supported by Doric columns.

Built between 1613 and 1620 by Hermann Baumhauer under the direction of Prince-Bishop Dietrich von Fürstenberg, replacing an earlier structure from 1473.

The building demonstrates German Renaissance principles through its clear arrangement of components and linear-sharp cut windows in the Weser Renaissance style.

Located in the southern part of downtown Paderborn, the town hall contains the council assembly workspace and hosts official receptions and celebrations.

The building includes hidden inscriptions from architect Rudolf Volmer, expressing his frustration with the city council during the 19th-century restoration.
