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.
