The old town hall in Düsseldorf is the wing on the northern side of the market square and the oldest part of the town hall complex in the old town of Düsseldorf. It was built in the style of the Renaissance between 1570 and 1573 as the office and meeting place for mayors, Schöffen and the city council. Until 1806, the town hall also served as the meeting place of the lands of the Duchy of Jülich-Berg. Previously, a house had been used as a town hall since 1544, which had been on the same place on the market square and had gradually become dilapidated. Before that, the house “Zum Schwarzen Horn” at Ratinger Straße 6 had served as a town hall since 1470. In the construction of the town hall of 1573, the upward development of the city is expressed under the Märkische Duken von Jülich-Kleve-Berg. Under Wilhelm, she experienced a considerable expansion as a preferred residence city. Nevertheless, the city had great effort to raise the funds for the construction costs and had to tackle the sovereign for help several times.
