Altes Rathaus — Local services in Chemnitz

Old and New City Hall. A special feature worth seeing in the city centre: Chemnitz's double town hall The question is justified: Which is which? Quite simple: the old one looks newer. The New Town Hall was spared during the air raids in 1945, but the Old Town Hall and the Jakobikirche behind it were not. The treasures inside the double town hall, such as the famous mural "Work - Prosperity - Beauty" by Max Klinger or the painting "The Weighing Up" by Neo Rauch, can be explored on a guided tour of the town hall and tower, as can the High Tower. In addition, the town halls each have a carillon, which can be heard at certain times in the city centre. The Chemnitz tower carillon in the New Town Hall, also called the Carillon is played by hand with its 48 bells. The carillon can be heard on Wed and Sat from 10 to 10:30 a.m. and on Fri from 4:30 to 5 p.m. In the Old Town Hall, on the other hand, there is a figurative carillon with six bronze figures, accompanied by 25 bells. The figures symbolise stages in Chemnitz' history and turn daily at 11am, 4pm and 7pm to the melody...

This rathaus is in the center of Chemnitz city. Its a beautiful structure and the area around this rathaus serves as a place for some events organization and festivals celebration. In summer often there are some market organized like wine tasting festival. At that time thsi place is full of various small shops to try some wine as well as some street food. On those days I believe this is the most lively place in the whole Chemnitz. Specially in the evening and nights it is very evident when it seems like the whole city has gathered there to eat and drink. Tgere are other buildings around this place which are also beautiful and worth having a look. If you are in Chemnitz, it is definitely a place to be visited. The famous Theaterplatz is also quite close and at walking distance...
