The Old Town Hall in Dachau, a town in the Upper Bavarian district of Dachau, was built in 1934/35. The historicist-style town hall at Konrad-Adenauer-Straße 6 is a protected architectural monument. The two-story, gable-roofed building with a stepped gable and flat bay window is based on the form of the demolished predecessor. The coffered ceiling from 1614/15 was retained (source: Wikipedia).
