Neues Rathaus - Göttingen, Germany - City and Town Halls on Waymarking.com

The size of the city grew rapidly after World War II and increased in 1964 when four neighboring communities were incorporated. Associated with this was a greater administrative effort, which required a larger town hall. The new town hall of Göttingen was built in 1976-1978 and consists of a 17-story office tower, an office wing with a parking deck and the city archive.

The village Gutingi was first mentioned in a document in 953. The village developed into a market town of Gotingen and received city rights in 1230. In 1964, after the incorporation of four neighboring communities with over 100,000 inhabitants, Göttingen became a major city.
The Georg-August University, the oldest and largest university in Lower Saxony, is located in Göttingen. As a result, the cityscape is strongly shaped by students (20% of Göttingen's residents are students).
Since the city center was largely spared in World War II, it now consists of many beautiful original half-timbered houses.
