The town hall on Geistmarkt was built in 1938/39 in the Neo-Gothic style, destroyed during the war, and rebuilt according to the original design. The council chamber houses the Emmerich Tapestry, which depicts the industries located in Emmerich. The artist Bernd Terhorst designed this tapestry in 1940/41, and his wife Elisabeth executed the weaving. (https://www.wfg-emmerich.de/tourismus/sehenswertes)

The interior of this church, dating back to the 11th century, is very unusually structured and features special furnishings. It's worth a look inside when driving along the Rhine promenade in Emmerich.
