Altes Rathaus Stade, Town hall in Stade, Germany.
Description
The Altes Rathaus Stade is an early modern administration building with a distinctive brick facade, symmetrical window rows, and a prominent roof structure. Inside, representative rooms preserve valuable architectural details that reflect the town's former prosperity.
History
The town hall was built in 1667 when Stade was a wealthy port city flourishing under Hanseatic influence. Its construction marked the peak of local power and wealth in that era.
Culture
The building sits at the heart of the old town and shows how residents governed and shaped their city over time. People still use the square in front as a gathering place where the town's public life unfolds.
Practical
The building sits centrally on the market square and is easily reached on foot, especially from the historic harbor area. Visitors should know that interiors are only accessible through guided tours arranged via the local tourist office.
