Old Town Hall, Rheinberg

The Old Town Hall stands on the market square in the center of the town of Rheinberg on the Lower Rhine in North Rhine-Westphalia. The Gothic brick building was built in 1449 with a pointed tower dome and battlement frieze. It is one of the oldest town halls in the Lower Rhine region.

The Old Town Hall extends over three floors. It is equipped with an octagonal stair tower that ends in a pointed onion tower. In 1727 it was extended with a market bell in the town hall tower, the Botteragnes. This is preserved to this day and is now housed in the townhouse opposite. A roof gallery was still present until 1853. The council chamber has historic leaded windows.

The Old Town Hall was frequently renovated and rebuilt. Such measures took place in 1638-1642, 1790, 1853-1857, 1879-1882 and in the middle of the 19th century. It was used, among other things, as an administrative building, a meat bank, a meeting and festival hall, but also as a prison and a fire station. Most recently - until March 2014 - it housed, among others, the Youth Welfare Office of the city of Rheinberg. With the relocation of this office, its use as an administrative building ended, so that it can now be put to other uses. Before that, a comprehensive refurbishment is planned.

In October 1985, it was added to the city's list of monuments and registered as an architectural monument with the number 74.
