After Zittau had been almost completely destroyed in the Seven Years War by the Austrian army, the citizens began in the late 18th century with the reconstruction. Construction of the New Town Hall began in 1840. Just five years later, the impressive building, which was based on building plans by Karl Friedrich Schinkel, was completed and opened.

The town hall was built in the years 1840-1845 Neo-Renaissance style, integrating the rest of the town hall, destroyed in 1757. At the main entrance are two oversized figures, once the Sophia (goddess of wisdom) and right Themis (goddess of justice). Striking is the standing on the left side of the town hall tower with a height of 50 m.

Hiking

Zittau's town hall is built in the Neo-Renaissance style, modeled on the Italian Renaissance. Completed in 1845, the building was based on plans by the Prussian architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel, but was realized by the architect Carl August Schramm, who adapted the design. The slender tower dates back to the previous building, which was destroyed in 1757.
