Rathaus Wetter

The Rathaus Wetter in Alt-Wetter is an administrative building with a distinctive clock tower rising 43 meters above the district. Its brick facade displays classical details typical of German civic architecture from its construction period.

The building was constructed during a period of urban growth in the Ruhr region, reflecting the expanding role of local government. Its construction marked part of the area's modernization effort during the industrial era.

The town hall occupies a central position in the district and shows how important civic buildings were to community life. Local people use this space as a natural gathering point and reference for finding their way around.

The building sits in the center of Alt-Wetter and is easy to reach on foot. Visitors can view the exterior anytime and use the tower as a landmark when navigating the area.

The clock tower is not just decoration but functions as the district's timekeeper for the surrounding area. Its regular chiming bell was historically the main way people coordinated their daily routines.
