The current image of the late historicist, old German town hall largely corresponds to that of the last stage of construction; the south wing of the building is dated 1889, the main wing 1893. The main façade facing the main square has a dome-topped central projection and corner turrets that protrude over the entire height. The facade decoration was greatly simplified in 1922, with the false brickwork of the walls on the upper floors being removed and the facade smoothed, the decoration on the roofs reduced and most of the statues in the wall niches lost; only two sandstone figures (lansquenets) and a sandstone bust remained on the west front. The figures were originally by the artists Hans Brandstetter, Karl Lacher, Karl Peckary, Emanuel Pendl and Rudolf Vital. The niche figures show important Austrians (such as the Habsburg emperors) and the four great allegories.

The representative town hall with its dome, clock and corner turrets has dominated Graz's main square since the end of the 19th century. It serves as the official residence of the mayor and the city government, but shops and a café with a garden in the courtyard also enliven the building.
