New Town Hall (Munich)
The New Town Hall (German: ''Neues Rathaus'') is a town hall at the northern part of Marienplatz in Munich, Bavaria, Germany. It hosts the city government including the city council, offices of the mayors and a small portion of the administration. In 1874 the municipality had left the Old Town Hall for its new domicile. History Inception and construction The decision to construct a new building came due to the lack of space in the Old Town Hall and the adjoining, so-called "Lesser Town Hall" on Petersbergl (destroyed in 1944, not reconstructed). In memory of the bourgeois high season during the Gothic period, the choice fell upon a neo-Gothic design, which allowed an implement an independent architectural accent in contrast to the buildings of the royal family. The north side of the Marienplatz was chosen as the building site, where the house of the Landstände still stood which had been erected by the Bavarian Duke throughout the Middle Ages as a sort of representation of th ...

New City Hall (Ostrava)
The New Town Hall of Ostrava is the most architecturally important and largest town hall complex from the Interwar period in the Czech Republic. It also has a prominent Czech Modernist style clock and observation tower, the tallest from the period. It is located just outside the old town, on the left bank of the River Ostravice, on Sokolska Trida. In 1923 architects Kolář & Rubý took part in the competition for the construction of a new town hall. The jury chose Vladimír Fischer (1870-1947) as the best proposal, but suggested that they draw up the final project together. The design changed from more traditional and classical to stylised, illustrating the growing influence of Modernism. Construction work began in November 1924 and the project was completed in 1930. The young architect Karel Kotas was entrusted with the construction management. The building, with a total cost of 52 million Crowns, was inaugurated on 28 October 1930 on the occasion of the National Day of the Cze ...
