The New Town Hall, known as the Red Town Hall (currently the Maritime Office), is one of the main buildings of Szczecin's New Town, whose network of streets was marked out in 1846. The decision to build a new town hall was made already in 1856. The old, medieval seat of the city authorities in the Sienna Market Square was then too cramped and small for the needs of a rapidly developing metropolis. The author of the project was the city construction counselor Konrad Kruhl. The building was put into use on January 10, 1879. It's a neo-Gothic building with five wings and two internal courtyards. In the center of the facade, from the side of Batory Square, the main entrance to the building is preceded by a three-arcaded, pointed-arched portico framed on the sides by buttresses with a pinnacle top. The windows of the break are pointed arches.
