Impressive building with a great Tower that can be visited at 14.00 daily, the guided tower tour costs 3 euro for adults. A cool place with a great view of the city????

This town hall looks like a small historical fortress in the middle of a modern city. Monolithic and at the same time figuratively elegant. I was always impressed and pleased whenever I met old buildings that still play a role in the new era, instead of just decaying and withering. This is a very beautiful building.

Standing majestically at the southwest corner of Leipzig's Old Town is the New Town Hall, Neues Rathaus, in the style of the German Late Renaissance. Completed in 1905, this massive building occupies the site of the 13th Century Pleissenburg, with parts of the old castle being incorporated in the 115 meter high central tower.

I would say this the best and the most luxury Rathaus I have ever seen in Germany.
