Central and prominent location
With its location between the school complex and the old town, the new town hall creates a bridge between the historic center and the large public structures in the north and east. The division into bars in a north-south direction creates permeability between the older and newer buildings. The apron between the town hall and the street is defined by a small forecourt. The square invites you to linger and also allows for smaller outdoor events.
The design of the building with a gable roof and dormers forms a relationship with the buildings adjacent to the south, but its orientation is also based on the larger flat-roof buildings in the north.

Functionality and organization
The building is organized as a two-tier structure and enables efficient floor space distribution as well as flexibility with regard to changing workplace and administrative structure requirements.
In the overlapping area of the two elongated structures and in the center of the new building is the entrance situation with foyer, waiting area and information. The meeting rooms on the ground floor and upper floor are arranged in such a way that they can be connected to the foyer areas, creating larger, connected areas for receptions or smaller exhibitions and events.
The location of the Citizens' Hall on the upper floor allows for views of Mount Ipf and Baldern Castle. Generous room heights are created under the sloping roof. The dormers provide exciting views and optimal lighting.

Material and shape
The load-bearing components and those in contact with the ground are made of reinforced concrete. The selected spans allow economically dimensioned flat ceilings. The asymmetrical gable roofs are constructed of wood.
The building appears in its opaque facade surfaces with rough plaster surfaces and in parts with brick cladding. The roof has a matt standing seam cover. The transparent surfaces are designed as an aluminum construction.

Building technology and energy
The new building is supplied with district heating from the Sechta Ries School. A central ventilation system ensures air exchange for all areas that do not rely on natural ventilation. All thermal systems receive heat recovery.
