Rathaus Mülheim an der Ruhr

Rathaus Mülheim an der Ruhr is an administrative building complex with a 60-meter tower in the city. The facade combines classical and modern elements with limestone cladding and detailed decorative features.

Construction of the building took place between 1913 and 1915 with the first council meeting held in 1916. Following severe damage during World War II, reconstruction work began in 1953.

The town hall serves as the political center of the city and hosts official events and civic affairs. Its distinctive tower shapes the city skyline and is recognized by many visitors as a symbol of local identity.

The building underwent extensive renovation between 2008 and 2011 with modern technical systems installed. Visitors can admire the easily accessible exterior and should check opening hours if planning to view the interior.

The roof structure and upper floors suffered heavy damage from bombing, requiring restoration work for decades afterward. Today the restored roof demonstrates the original structural resilience of the building.
