The New Town Hall (Neues Rathaus) is situated at the northern end of the Marienplatz and houses the city government, including the city council, offices of the mayor, and various administrative departments. Designed by Georg Hauberrisser and constructed in the Flemish Gothic style in 1867, the original building, the Old Town Hall, has remained standing and is located near the New Town Hall on the square. The building features beautiful ornate stone ornamentation, stained glass windows, soaring vaulted ceilings, and intricately carved wood workings. The crowning glory of the Neues Rathaus is its world-famous “glockenspiel,” which gives two presentations a day to crowds that gather to watch them on the Marienplatz.
