The Old Town Hall in Celle is a masterpiece of the Weser Renaissance. When Duke Otto the Strict commissioned the town of Celle to be laid out according to his plans in 1292, the town hall was also built on the market square. The building is an impressive testament to the ducal rule. It was expanded and richly decorated in the 14th and 16th centuries. The north gable is a masterpiece of the Weser Renaissance. Gothic cross vaults can still be found in the Ratskeller (town hall cellar). The Old Town Hall, one of the oldest buildings in the city, consists of two sections. https://www.celle.de/Stadt/%C3%9Cber-Celle/Altes-Rathaus.php?object=tx,3747.714.1&ModID=47&FID=3747.303.1&NavID=3747.90&La=1

Starting around 1560, Celle's town hall was built by master masons Jakob Rieß and Frederic Soltersborg from Salzburg, incorporating Gothic elements from a previous building. The central eastern gable dates from 1562, and the northern decorative gable dates from 1579. The building underwent numerous additions and modifications in the following centuries: a simple brick structure, the so-called "Wedding House," was added between 1580 and 1593, and the courtroom porch dates from 1599. A loft at the southern end was added at the beginning of the 17th century. A neoclassical remodeling followed in 1785, and in 1938 the building was extended by two axes to the south.
