The Dessau Town Hall Square (Dessauer Rathausplatz) is a central hub for the city of Dessau-Roßlau and houses the Dessau Town Hall, which is considered a landmark of the city. The history of the town hall dates back to 1336, when it was transferred by Princes Albrecht and Waldemar. The town hall has undergone several significant renovations and extensions, including the extension carried out in 1882/83 and the holiday rooms built in 1901. Despite the numerous additions and renovations, the space was no longer sufficient, and in 1899, the foundation stone for the new building was laid. The new building was completed in 1901 and is an example of Art Nouveau architecture.

The town hall of Aken is a listed building in the Anhalt-Bitterfeld district of Saxony-Anhalt. Aken was first mentioned as a civitas in 1227. It was established as a planned, regularly structured market settlement with a grid-like street network, probably after 1212 under Duke Albrecht of Saxe-Wittenberg, but was not designated a town until 1271.[1] A merchant house mentioned in 1265 later became the town hall.[2] After a devastating fire in 1485 also destroyed the town hall,[3] a new town hall was built in 1490, which was expanded in 1609. Some details were altered during an expansion in 1907.[4] These construction phases create the impression of a mature building, featuring Gothic and Renaissance portals. The late Gothic south gable stands out for its brick details, and the early Baroque curved east gable is another dominant feature. The open staircase on the east side ends in an arbor, and several portals, like this one, date from the 1907 renovation and exhibit Art Nouveau elements. Inside, among other things, a 16th-century stucco ceiling and a wooden wall cabinet from 1540 have been preserved.[4] St. Mary's Church is located close to the west of the building. Nevertheless, the town hall is the dominant feature of the market square, on whose north side it stands. It was built at a crossroads leading to a ford on the Elbe.[5] The listed town hall of Aken is registered in the register of historic monuments under the number 094 17913.[6] Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rathaus_Aken
