General Information:

The first reference to a municipal office on this site is from the year 1517. The current barock style building is from 1729/30. On the northwest face of the building there is a gold-plated bust of Margrave Karl Wilhelm. During his period of reign, the newer town hall was built. Of additional interest is the ornate balcony railing with the coat of arms of the Margrave of Baden and Hachberg over the entrance and the heraldic stone which graces the portal with the house order of loyalty and the Emmendingen city coat of arms. The old town hall and its administration were located here until 1992 when it was moved to its new location in the Landvogtei “Governor’s Area”, now the new city hall.

The German Diary Archive has its permanent home now in the Old Town Hall. Founded as a private association in 1997, the German Diary Archive collects a wide variety of personal written testimonial: diaries, memoirs, letters. The German Diary Archive is the only one of its kind in Germany. During opening hours selected pieces from the collection can be viewed in the exhibition area.
