The New City Hall was completed in 1905 on the foundations of the former fortifications of the Pleissenburg according to plans laid down by the "Director City Construction" Hugo Licht. Together with the City Hall completed in 1912, it has a total of 870 rooms. It is the seat of the city's council.
Extensive restoration work since the beginning of the Nineties has brought new splendour to the richly decorated facades and roof structures.
The 110 m high City Hall tower is situated at the base of the old castle buildings. Its lookout platform can be accessed during guided tours.
