Town hall

The prestigious New Town Hall with its spacious forecourt, pavilion, carillon and former water features next to the town hall steps, as well as the striking municipal library, all completed in 1970, embody the great self-confidence of the rapidly growing city of Sindelfingen in its economic heyday. Renowned architects created an ambitious and innovative urban ensemble. This was to be the heart of the modern city.

Between the municipal library and the central town hall from 1843/45, the octagon of the municipal gallery in the postmodern architectural style has been another eye-catcher since 1990. All of the buildings are now listed due to their typical period architecture and design qualities (New Town Hall with forecourt, pavilion and carillon since 2014, octagon since 2016, municipal library since 2024).

The growth of the city of Sindelfingen in the post-war period (population 1954: 15,300, 1970: 43,000) required a new town hall building. The new town hall was built between 1967 and 1970 according to plans by Stuttgart architects Günter Wilhelm and Jürgen Schwarz. They combined high-rise office buildings with lower structures for representation and public traffic.

A special feature is the carillon on the town hall forecourt with 40 bells, reminiscent of earlier town hall towers. The carillon was restored in 2018/19.

Previously, the "Wilhelminenheim" stood here, which opened in 1923 as a maternity clinic and hospital and was built thanks to generous donations from Wilhelmine ("Minna") Moscherosch-Schmidt, a Sindelfingen native who emigrated to Chicago.
