Hildesheim Town Hall, Gothic town hall in Hildesheim, Germany

Hildesheim Town Hall is a Gothic sandstone building at Markt 1 on the east side of the historic market square, its core dating to around 1325 and its stepped gable rising centrally. The west side has tracery windows and continuous arcades; the east side facing An der Lilie is closed by a glass facade framed by two towers that survived the war almost undamaged.

A predecessor building may have stood on the site as early as the 13th century. The Gothic sandstone town hall was built in the first half of the 14th century, with its core dating to around 1325, and was extensively rebuilt in the first half of the 15th century. Further alterations took place between 1883 and 1892 under city architect Gustav Schwartz. Allied air raids in World War II largely destroyed the building, which was reconstructed in 1954.

The town hall still houses Hildesheim's city administration at Markt 1. Since 1954 a metre-high majolica by sculptor and ceramicist Otto Hohlt, signed "Werkstatt Hohlt" and donated by the Süd-Hannover Hildesheim Chamber of Industry and Commerce, depicts the Knochenhaueramtshaus, the butchers' guild house. The building's coat of arms frieze shows the arms of the Hochstift Hildesheim, the Amt Winzenburg and the county of Dassel, among others.

The town hall stands at Markt 1 on the east side of the historic market square, with the glass east facade facing the An der Lilie square between two towers that survived the war almost undamaged. The west side, with its tracery windows and continuous arcades, faces the market. A northern extension designed by Gerhard Graubner was added in 1959.

The two towers flanking the glass east facade toward An der Lilie survived the wartime bombing almost undamaged. In 1954 the South Hanover Chamber of Industry and Commerce donated a metre-high majolica by sculptor and ceramicist Otto Hohlt, signed "Werkstatt Hohlt", showing the Knochenhaueramtshaus.
