Technical Town Hall (Technisches Rathaus) on Prager Straße

In December 2009, the Technical Town Hall was established, bringing many of the "technical" departments of the city's Social Affairs Office together under one roof.
Relocating the offices from their previous locations throughout the city to a shared location has meant a significant improvement for not only Leipzig's residents, but also for employees of the City of Leipzig.
The relatively central location of the Technical Town Hall on one of Leipzig's main thoroughfares makes it very convenient to reach from all of the city's districts and boroughs.
The Technical Town Hall is made up of three houses, designated A, B, and C. To help visitors find their way around, the houses are colour-coded.
