Rathaus Nienburg

Short facts

  • Nienburg (Weser)

The administration of the town of Nienburg/Weser. One of the oldest and most impressive buildings in the town.

The town hall is the architectural flagship of this thousand-year-old town. It is a half-timbered building that was probably erected in 1533. In 1582-89, a seven-axis, plastered brick stepped gable in the Weser Renaissance style was added to the façade on Lange Straße. The individual staggered sections have wavy gables with palmette inlays and ball finials; the wall surface is divided by sandstone pilaster strips and horizontal cornices. In front of the façade rises a two-storey stander; the eight virtues and the coat of arms of Duke Wilhelm von Celle are depicted in the parapet reliefs. The simple portal on the market side shows the insignia of the city held by an angel with the year 1585 and the Brunswick lion coat of arms. 

The first town hall tower with a bell was erected in 1614. The tower received its current form in 1778/79 and was renovated in 2012. In 1903, the historic town hall extension was built to match the town hall gable with the front facing Lange Straße. 
Inside there is an art gallery open to the public with Nienburg artists and Nienburg motifs.

The wedding room is located in the lower part of the Utlucht. The rooms are then of course festively decorated (information: Nienburg registry office, tel. 05021-87228).

There are public toilets in the town hall building.
