New Town Hall (Neues Rathaus)
The New Town Hall occupies one side of Marienplatz and was designed by the architect Georg von Hauberrisser, born in Graz in 1841. It was built in three phases between 1867 and 1905 because the Old Town Hall had become too small for the administration of a growing city; the tower was completed in December 1905. The façade is Neo-Gothic and the tower holds the carillon with moving figures, the Glockenspiel. The building suffered heavy damage in the Second World War and was rebuilt; the carillon rang again on 14 September 1945. Today you can climb the tower with its viewing platform, with entry by time slots, and see the Glockenspiel daily at fixed times. In the same building there is a tourist information office.
