Rathaus Meißen, Town hall in Meissen, Germany.

The Rathaus Meißen is a rendered rubble-stone building with brick gables and sandstone surrounds on a slightly irregular rectangular plan. Its steep saddle roof carries blind gables at the narrow ends and three evenly spaced dormers facing the market. The pointed main portal, carved around 1470, is framed by round mouldings and hollows, with the town coat of arms in sandstone above it, made by C. P. Krondl in 1865.

The town hall was built essentially between 1472 and 1480 under the influence of Arnold von Westfalen. It was altered in 1726 and 1865, and in 1910 the Dresden architect Alexander Hohrath renewed the facades to return them to their original state, adding the balcony. Restoration begun after 1995, including the roof covering, was interrupted by the Elbe flood of 2002 and only finished in 2010.

The secondary portal, rectangular with a simple chamfered frame from around 1470, once led into the bread stalls (Brotbänke) and today opens into the Ratskeller. A sundial from 1969 is mounted on the main facade, and the sandstone town coat of arms above the main portal was carved in 1865 by C. P. Krondl.

The main entrance is the pointed-arch portal of around 1470 on the market square side; the rectangular side portal of the same period once led to the bread stalls and now opens into the Ratskeller. A sundial of 1969 hangs on the main facade. The adjoining houses at Burgstraße 31 and 32 belong to the town hall complex.

The council chamber's beam ceiling rests on three stone columns topped with saddle-shaped wooden blocks, a construction from the late 15th century. The attic above is split into five levels that once stored grain and supplies.
