Altes Rathaus Stade, Town hall in Stade, Germany.

The Altes Rathaus Stade is a two-storey early Baroque building erected from 1667 on the old cellars, with a hipped roof and a roof turret topped by an open lantern. Its long sandstone-trimmed front on Hökerstraße is the main facade, centred on a columned portal carved in 1667 by Bremen sculptor Wilhelm Bokeloh, showing the Swedish royal coat of arms held by two lions, flanked by statues of Truth and Justice and crowned by Mercury.

The town hall was first documented in 1279, probably built shortly before. A town fire destroyed it in 1659, and from 1667 it was rebuilt over the old cellars, partly using bricks from the predecessor. The small vaulted cellar and the pillars and two arches of the great wine cellar survive from the medieval building. A rear extension followed in 1985–1988.

The sandstone portal carved in 1667 by Bremen sculptor Wilhelm Bokeloh carries the Swedish royal coat of arms held by two lions, flanked by statues of Truth and Justice, with Mercury on top. Above it reads the Latin inscription "JUSTITIA ET PIETAS PAX ET CONCORDIA VERNENT". The building now hosts concerts and events.

The Altes Rathaus stands at the corner of Hökerstraße and Cosmaekirchhof, its long main facade facing Hökerstraße, next to the St.-Cosmae church. The rear wing connects to the 1985–1986 town hall extension, and the brick Ratswärterhaus of 1844/1846 adjoins it to the east. The building is used for concerts and events.

The sandstone portal carved in 1667 by Bremen sculptor Wilhelm Bokeloh carries the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Sweden, held by two lions, flanked by statues of Truth and Justice and crowned by Mercury. Above it reads "JUSTITIA ET PIETAS PAX ET CONCORDIA VERNENT".
