The foundation stone for the new town hall in Ahlen was laid on 13 May 2024 as the first phase of the new civic campus. This was preceded by a planning phase that involved the active participation of local residents. The structure of the elongated, angled building block responds to its special location between the Werse riverside promenade and Ahlen’s historic town wall. From the building, which is divided into sections of different heights, you can enjoy the view of the neighbouring city park and the historic old town. Mayor Dr Alexander Berger (2nd from right) particularly emphasised the energy efficiency and quality of the space and usage concept of the new building, which is designed to meet contemporary needs and is due to be occupied in 2026.
