Markt, Old & New Town Hall
Markt / Altes und Neues Rathaus
The historic center of Chemnitz, where the 15th-century Old Town Hall is joined to the New Town Hall of 1911. A bell carillon plays daily.
The Old Town Hall was founded in 1496 and rebuilt after World War II in its original form. A Roland statue is featured on its wall. The adjoining New Town Hall, built in 1911, contains murals by Max Klinger, and its tower carillon plays at set times each day. Around the square are shopping streets and cafés. In December, this square is the main venue of the Chemnitz Christmas Market, with a giant wooden Christmas pyramid and a miners' parade. The exterior is free to view, and you can enter the hall of the Town Hall during opening hours.
