Parchim: Das Rathaus

The Rathaus am Alten Markt is an elongated, two-storey, Gothic, rectangular brick building dating back to the 14th century. This building served as the town hall, court house, citizen meeting and catering magazine. The narrow side was oriented towards the Old Market. At this not preserved rectangular Giebelschauwand were on the ground floor open arcades with six pointed arches and behind the entrance. The rectangular high-rise northeast entrance tower had two storeys and a three-sided tower tower. The three sides of the tower tower were divided by eleven vertical pilasters at the corners and between the windows. The adjoining two-storey longitudinal building had a pitched roof which was completed on the southwest side by a broadly mounted stepped gable with tracery panels. The building decayed over time and in the French period it was even used as a stabling. From 1808 the house was empty for several years and the demolition was considered.In 1818, the construction of the Mecklenburgische Oberappellationsgericht, which had been moved to Parchim, was fundamentally rebuilt by the architect and court architect Johann Georg Barca. The conversion of Barca changed the inner floor plan and the external appearance profoundly. Some gothic elements of the ruin were added and supplemented and new classical elements were added. The arbor on the marketplace side disappeared and the new main entrance was relocated to the middle of the long side to the shoe market, in the form of a new portal with four two-storey round half-columns and a spiky gable above. All window openings were greatly enlarged and received high pointed arches to illuminate the bullet retracted between ground and first floors. Both gables were now designed as a stepped gable. The intermediate continuous saddle roof was flatter than the previous building.Source:

Het stadhuis van Parchim, gelegen in het centrum van de stad, is in wezen een gotisch bakstenen gebouw uit de 14e eeuw. Onder de gebouwen van de middeleeuwse stad nam het stadhuis de eerste plaats in als zetel van het stadsbestuur en als symbool van stedelijke onafhankelijkheid.Nadat het stadhuis van 1817 - 1820 onder toezicht van de Ludwigslust-hof en grondbouwer Barca was gerenoveerd, onderging het stadhuis in 1993 - 1997 opnieuw een grondige renovatie en werd het een bijzonder juweel van de historische oude stad.
De oprichting van het gemeentehuis van Parchim is nauw verbonden met de geschiedenis van Parchim.
