Monuments and Sights, Historical Buildings, Brick Gothic

The building, erected in the style of North German brick Gothic, whose construction dates back to the years 1300-1310, is one of the most important secular buildings on the Baltic coast. Above the large windows of the market front of the town hall, the coats of arms of the neighboring Hanseatic cities point to the importance of the Hanseatic League for Stralsund. The display gable is unique in the Baltic region.

For centuries, the display façade of the old town hall has towered meters high into the Stralsund sky, becoming the city's landmark. The most important secular building on the German Baltic coast still gives us a glimpse of the glory and wealth of the Hanseatic era. Stralsund's town hall was not only the seat of the council and a place of jurisdiction, but initially a building filled with lively business activity. Thus, the six-aisled, vaulted cellar hall probably served as a cloth hall. The first floor housed sales stalls. The northern head building at the Old Market with its famous display wall shows a two-nave vaulted hall on the first floor. The hall above, today Löwenscher Saal, was originally the meeting room of the city's upper class and is still the place where the city representatives meet once a month for town hall sessions.

Today, stores and restaurants revive the area of the town hall, which is accessible to everyone. Events are regularly held in the large vaulted cellar of the town hall. Above all, of course, the large artisan market as part of the Stralsund Christmas Market.

Unfortunately, tours of the town hall are not possible.
