Altona Townhall

The former railway station building has served as the headquarters of the Altona district office since the end of the Second World War.

The Altona Town Hall is an impressive building in Hamburg's Altona district. It was built in the neoclassical style and is framed by columns and gable reliefs. A monument in honour of Kaiser Wilhelm can be found on the north side. This town hall is one of the city's most famous sights. It was built between 1906 and 1909 and has served as the administrative building for the district of Altona ever since. A particular highlight of the building is the large Ratskeller in the basement, which is now used as an event venue. In addition to food, various exhibitions by artists can also be enjoyed in the town hall canteen.

The Altona Town Hall is a popular destination for tourists and locals alike and offers an interesting insight into the history and architecture of the city of Hamburg. In summer, open-air screenings organised by the Zeise cinema take place in the inner courtyard, and the altonale festival also celebrates its opening here every year.
