Malchow Town Hall
The town hall is the central representative building in the historic town centre. The building, which is set far back, forms the design centre with the Old Market, the peripheral buildings and the brick-faced, red district court. It was built between 1818 and 1821 in the classicist style as a half-timbered building with a balcony. The so-called functional half-timbering was painted a plain grey to give the building a more noble appearance with the appearance of a solid building.
Until the completion of the district court in 1881, court hearings also took place in the town hall. For this purpose, the city set up several heated prison cells on the town hall floor, which can still be seen today. These were still used as holding cells until the 1950s. After structural changes were made to the town hall at certain intervals, the restoration of this building in accordance with the preservation order began in 2004.
After years of decay, one of the oldest and most historic houses on the island was returned to its original use.
