Old Linden City Hall, Neo-Gothic city hall in Linden-Limmer, Hannover, Germany

Old Linden City Hall is a three-storey brick building in Neo-Gothic style, erected on a trapezoidal plan with three facades at the fork of Deisterstraße and Ricklinger Straße. Its main front faces north toward the Schwarzer Bär square, and a small ornamental square, the first in Linden, lies in the acute angle before it. The former council chamber had tall windows with stained glass; today only one pinnacle gable survives of the richly articulated roofscape.

The building was constructed between 1883 and 1884 and served as the administrative center before the area merged with Hannover. It was built during a period of rapid industrial expansion in the region.

The council chamber's tall windows held stained glass with a dedication to Georg Egestorff, the deceased industrialist called the main driver of mechanisation and industrial progress in Linden. Sculptor Georg Herting was among the first to pay the 10-mark citizen fee and swear the citizen's oath after Linden received town rights in 1885.

Visitors can view and photograph the building from the surrounding streets, as it stands at a prominent intersection with multiple vantage points. The location is easily accessible and offers good photo opportunities from different angles.

The original council chamber was converted into an art exhibition space from 1958 to 1961, displaying local artworks. This transformation shows how the historical building adapted to the cultural needs of the postwar era.
