Altes Rathaus, Medieval town hall at Altmarkt, Cottbus, Germany.
The old town hall stood on Altmarkt square with a prominent tower, bell installation, and administrative chambers spread across multiple floors.
Built in the late 14th century, the structure endured multiple fires, including a devastating blaze in 1671 that required a 19-year reconstruction period.
The Ratskeller in the building held exclusive rights to serve foreign beers and wines, generating substantial income for the city treasury until the mid-17th century.
The building housed city administration offices until 1937, when municipal functions transferred to a new town hall location 170 meters west on Neumarkt.
In 1916, residents participated in a fundraising event by purchasing nails to hammer into a designated door during wartime financial difficulties.
