The whole building of the city hall is made of sandstone, the whole is smoke gray, and the roof is copper green, showing a simple style.

Hamburg City Hall, Germany, this place used to be the place where the unit worked here, but now it has been changed to an attraction. You can visit here every Monday to Sunday. I feel that the working environment inside is very good. You can also understand the history of Hamburg, Germany.
Town halls across Germany are generally historic and ancient buildings that represent the most local architectural style. Hamburg City Hall is one of Germany's most spectacular parliament and government buildings and the pride of the entire city. Located in the heart of the intersection of Lake Ulster and the Elbe, built in 1886, it is a Renaissance-style building built on the foundations of 4,000 oak stakes
Not far away from the central station, the city hall is located in the middle of the city. Its square serves as a location for the annual Christmas markets too.
The city hall was built between 1886 and 1897, with a total cost of 5.5 million to replace the old city hall destroyed by the fire in 1842. Hamburg City Hall is one of the famous attractions in Hamburg. It has 647 rooms, six more than Buckingham Palace in Britain. Its interior decoration style is the new Renaissance, Baroque and classical style. Walking into the city hall, visitors first saw the hall supported by 16 stone pillars, 64 reliefs standing on the pillars commemorating Hamburg celebrities. The second floor of the city hall is the seat of the authority. The statues of 20 famous German emperors stand between the windows. There are conference rooms, Council hall, banquet hall, citizen hall, emperor hall, tower hall, mayor hall, orphan hall and Phoenix hall. In the banquet hall, visitors can see five giant murals reflecting the historical development of Hamburg. The Emperor's Hall was originally the place where the Son of Heaven summoned his ministers, but now it is the VIP reception hall. The mayor's reception room is at the northernmost end of the second floor.
This is the most iconic building in Hamburg. It's only one kilometre away from the railway station, and it's totally walkable. In front of it is a big square, and it can reach most of the Hamburg scenic spots. It's also very convenient to take the subway. The city hall is free to visit. Since there are many municipal businesses here, I came to see many people queuing to mourn the victims of the terrorist attacks in Paris, so I suggest that if you don't know, don't queue up casually. The city hall here is free to visit. However, because of the need for office work above the 2nd floor, the team can only make an appointment to visit. I had a bad time, so I went shopping alone. There is a very beautiful fountain of bronze statues in the courtyard. Two side doors behind the front desk allow direct access. But if you don't ask, it's probably hidden. It is suggested that we take half an hour to look at it. In the Middle Ages, Hamburg was a very wealthy port and commercial city. So although the city hall has a long history, it still looks magnificent. And many of the Hamburg tourist souvenirs are based on this city hall as the main symbol, similar to our Oriental Pearl.
Hamburg's most magnificent building, its magnificent city hall, the taste of history and the statues of emperors of all generations make it look overbearing and artistic. The city hall is free to visit. If you want a tour guide, it's about 3 euros. The Hamburg City Police Orchestra perform here every Friday at 12 noon, which is worth watching.
