Memorial Event: Complimentary Guided Tours of Harburg City Hall for Commemorative Purposes
The beautiful Harburg Town Hall, a masterpiece of Flemish Renaissance architecture designed by Christoph Hehl, will open its doors for free guided tours from September 6 to 8 as part of the Day of Open Heritage.
These tours offer a unique opportunity to explore the historic building, which was constructed in 1892 to accommodate the administrative tasks of the town due to the city hall of 1830 on the Sand being too small.
The tours will be conducted by Fabian Pleiser and will last approximately 90 minutes for adults and 1 hour for family tours. The adult tours will take place on September 6 at 9:30 AM and 12:00 PM, while a family tour is scheduled for 3:00 PM on the same day. Registration for these tours is required by email at [email protected] by September 4.
During the tours, visitors will have the chance to visit the Great Hall, adorned with historic stained glass windows, and learn about the present-day Town Hall Square. The family tour will also include stories about the Countess of Harburg.
The tours will provide a peek behind the scenes of the Harburg Town Hall, revealing the location of the clockwork of the tower clock under the roof and the magnificent representative staircase.
For those interested in the history and architecture of Harburg Town Hall, it is recommended to consult the official Harburg or local heritage event websites or contact local tourist information centres directly for the most accurate and updated information.
