Hanover - Town Hall

(Local Name: Rathaus) In Hannover's Trammplatz is the Town Hall (1901-13), in the style of the Wilhelmine period. It's built on a foundation of 6,026 beech piles, with a domed tower almost 100 m/330ft high that dominates the city's skyline ( fine panoramic view). In the hall are models of the town and the Hodler Room has a huge painting, "The Oath of Loyalty" (1913). On the south side of the Town Hall lies the Maschteich.
