Wernigerode Town Hall

Highlight • Historical Site

On the south side of the market square is the pretty town hall of Wernigerode. Around 1420, Count Heinrich built the town hall as a playhouse with a wine cellar. 20 years later he donated the building to the city. After another eventful history and several comprehensive renovations and extensions to the building, the town hall is now often used by couples as a wedding venue.

This very beautiful historic fountain is located on the market square directly in front of the Wernigerode town hall. A very popular photo motif and beautifully decorated in winter and nicely integrated into the Christmas market.

On the way to the Harz Mountains: the weather radar shows rain, rain, rain 😩
But the weather gods are on our side: 5 minutes after arriving in Wernigerode, the rain front has actually passed 😃
It's still cloudy, but at least it's dry.
This makes the stroll through the beautiful old town fun, and we're impressed by the many …

April 28, 2025,Bummeln in Wernigerode

A relaxing stroll through Wernigerode, from the HSB Westerntor railway station to the old town, to the castle, to the market, and back to the train station. With plenty of breaks and experiences. Simply letting your mind wander. Wonderful.

September 7, 2024,Impressionen aus Werningerode

There was already a big city tour through Wernigerode yesterday. Unfortunately, the tour was not seen again after saving 😢
As the castle was closed yesterday for filming, we tried again today. The castle is currently largely covered in scaffolding. That's why there aren't many pictures of it. I've included some photos from yesterday in today's tour. I think that's …

October 4, 2023,🚶🏻‍♂️🚶‍♀️🏘🕍 Sightseeing in Wernigerode

Today the plan was to explore “the colorful city on the Harz”. The old town with its alleys and half-timbered houses is very idyllic. It's worth a visit.

November 4, 2023,Heute möchte ich euch mitnehmen auf das Schloss Wernigerode und die Stadt Wernigerode .

A castle 🏰 that you simply have to see. The tickets are also affordable at nine euros and it's worth the money. Of course you shouldn't miss Wernigerode's town hall and old town. Everything was very well maintained and lovingly prepared. I'll definitely be back during Advent with lots of lights, it's definitely beautiful.
