Nicknamed the Rotes Rathaus (red town hall) for its redbrick design, the town hall was completed in 1869. Its most distinguishing features are its neo-Renaissance clock tower and frieze that depicts Berlin's history up to 1879 in 36 terra-cotta plaques, each 6 meters long. Climb the grand stairwell to view the coat of arms hall and a few exhibits.
