passed. It was not until 1901 that an architectural competition for a new town hall was announced. Under the title Im
Wettbewerbe für das neue Rathaus in Dresden preisgekrönte und angekaufte Entwürfe nebst dem amtlichen Entwurfe des städtischen Hochbauamtes / Eigentum der Stadt Dresden / Für die Gebrüder der städtischen Kollegien bestimmt, the Römmler & Jonas collotype company produced a two-part portfolio. The architect Karl Roth (1875–1932) from Darmstadt received one of the four prizes for his entry (no first prize was awarded) and the new town hall was built from 1905 to 1910 on the basis of his design under the joint supervision of the architects Karl Roth and Edmund Bräter (1855–1925), for which, among other things, the neo-classical Prussian House and the Palais Loß from 1765 were demolished. The foundation stone for the New Town Hall was laid on September 29, 1905, with the last King of Saxony, Friedrich August III, also striking three hammer blows. The shell of the building with its sandstone façade and high pitched roofs was completed in 1908, although there were considerable financing problems: for example, the town hall tower could only be erected thanks to generous support from the Güntz Foundation. The following two years were spent working on the ornate interior, with the ballrooms being painted by Eugen Bracht. The official inauguration took place on October 1, 1910.

completed in 1952, followed in 1962–1965 by the reconstruction of the ballroom wing by
Herbert Terpitz, Manfred Arlt and Kollektiv (interior design: Theo WagenfĂĽhr). The Hellerau workshops were responsible for the interior design of the new plenary hall. Between 2011 and 2016, this wing was extensively renovated and the staircase and the Golden Gate were largely restored to their original state.

The larger-than-life sculpture "TrĂĽmmerfrau" (Rubble Woman), created by Walter

The building was severely damaged during the bombing raids in
February 1945, so that the extensive reconstruction was carried out in a simplified form from 1948 under the direction of Emil Leibold. The reconstruction of the paintings in the ballrooms was abandoned. The complex on Dr.-KĂĽlz-Ring was

As early as 1870/1875, the Old Town Hall on
Altmarkt no longer offered enough space for the city administration, so the then Lord Mayor Paul Alfred StĂĽbel began discussing a new building shortly after taking office in 1880. However, it was not until 1888 that a corresponding council resolution was
