The old town hall in Soltau was also previously called the hotel „Zum blauen Löwen“.
In 1825, the old half-timbered house on Poststraße was inaugurated.
Soltau had about 1000 inhabitants at that time (today approx. 22,000 inhabitants).
There was a pub on the ground floor.
In 1851, the district court with prison moved into the town hall. One of the first full-time mayors was the well-known heath poet Friedrich Freudenthal. Above the window in the small gable of the town hall is the old town coat of arms from 1388.
In 1981, the new town hall was inaugurated.

Soltau's Old Town Hall, built in 1826 in the neoclassical style, is a striking landmark of the town. With its simple façade, central gable, and small bell tower, it dominates the market square. Originally used as the administrative headquarters, the listed building now hosts cultural events and exhibitions, following the city administration's relocation to the more modern town hall.
