New City Hall

Das Bild zeigt das Neue Rathaus und den erhaltenen Südflügel durch Bäume hindurch.
The New City Hall was built in 1807 for the chicory producer Jacob Ferdinand Lenz. After a fire, it was acquired in 1809/10 by the snuff producer Carl Ludwig Lotzbeck, who had it rebuilt by Hans Voss, a student of the architect Friedrich Weinbrenner, according to Weinbrenner's designs.

The building is well worth seeing both as an art monument thanks to its classical façade, as well as a socio-historical memorial. The two original wings were once factory buildings, although today only a part of the south wing remains. The building as a whole was an early industrial example of a combined residential and factory complex.

After the snuff factory was closed in 1926, the building became Lahr's City Hall.
