Altes Rathaus, Gothic municipal building in central Bolzano, Italy

The Altes Rathaus stands at Laubengasse 30, its arcaded ground floor opening onto the porticoes and a rear wing facing Dr.-Streiter-Gasse. The two parts are joined by a public passage, a light court and a late Gothic loggia. The rear wing was rebuilt in 1597/98 by the Lombard master Antonio Carlone in late Renaissance forms.

On 24 January 1455 Jakob Kürschner of Brixen sold the recently burnt house, then called des von Vilanders haws, to Bolzano, which adapted it as its town hall. It served as the seat of the city administration until 1907. The rear wing was rebuilt in 1597/98 by Antonio Carlone; the Lauben wing was damaged in World War II and has housed the city archive since 2001.

The old council chamber, decorated in 1597 with emblematic frescoes by Georg Müller of Bamberg, later served as a cinema; after careful restoration it now hosts neighbourhood meetings and civil weddings. The upper hall, once used by the Tyrolean Diet, keeps a carved wooden ceiling bearing the Tyrolean eagle with an honorary wreath.

The Altes Rathaus stands at Portici/Laubengasse 30, not on a square; its passage links the arcaded Portici with Dr.-Streiter-Gasse, so enter from either street. The building houses the city archive and is a protected monument; the former council hall is used for civil weddings and neighbourhood meetings, so rooms may be closed during ceremonies.

The rear wing on Dr.-Streiter-Gasse, rebuilt in 1597/98 by Lombard master builder Antonio Carlone, holds the old council chamber with 1597 frescoes by Georg Müller of Bamberg, showing emblems from Cicero's Somnium Scipionis. Above it, the former Tyrolean Landtag meeting room has a carved wooden ceiling bearing the Tyrolean eagle with an honorary wreath.
