Despite the seeming "old", the new town hall in Munich is quite "young" architectural constructionsthat, in principle, it becomes clear from its name. The construction of the town hall began in the mid-19th century, namely, in 1867, on the initiative of the city council of Munich. And, I must say that long before the end of construction in 1874, the city Munich Council makes a decision in the shortest possible time to move from Old Town Hall to a new one, located on the nearby street. In general, the construction of a new building in the very center of Munich in the style of Neoetics lasted until 1908, and another year (until the end of the 1909 year), it was completed and expanded individual parts. In total, this unique architectural structure has 400 different areas and the purpose of the premises in which more than 600 people are currently working.
For all tourists who came to the Marienplatz Square, it will be interesting to know that for the construction of a new town hall on the square, almost thirty residential buildings were demolished, which, naturally, was met by the indigenous population, to gently say, unfriendly. However, the fear of the Bavarians also caused the height of the Tower of the Town Hall: in their opinion, the 85th-meter tower with a spire, decorated with a baby's figure, did not have to "eclipse" the main city cathedral - the Cathedral of Frauenkirche (his height of 99 meters ).

However, when passions have slightly lay down, and the town hall was rebuilt, the citizens were accustomed to the new structure, and today the new town hall in Munich is nothing more than one of the main attractions of the capital of Bavaria.
