Altes Rathaus, Hanover
The most medieval wing, nearest to the market place. Also visible on the right is the 19th century "Venetian" wing on the southwest side of the building
The most recent part of the building on Karmarschstraße.
The Altes Rathaus was the first town hall in the German city of Hanover. First built in the old city district in 1410 and extensively restored in 1953 and 1964 after heavy bomb damage in World War II, it is the oldest secular building in the city. The market façade with the highly sophisticated Brick Gothic of the lucarnes has been preserved and partly restored in its medieval shape. Some elements of it were copied on other wings of the building.
