Prague - The functionalist building of the new town hall, where the local representatives convened for the first time on February 10, 1933, is a dominant feature of Jablonec nad Nisou and one of the significant buildings of Czechoslovak interwar architecture. The work of architect Karel Winter, which includes a 51-meter high tower accessible to the public, was built between 1930 and 1932 on today's Mírové náměstí. Since the late 1950s, the building has been a cultural monument and was recently renovated, which restored its former elegance, especially in the interiors.

Many original interior fittings, designed in the art deco style, have not survived, but exceptions include the oval table from meeting room number 201 in the southeast corner of the town hall building. In the 1970s, workers covered it with linoleum, which helped preserve it, but people can admire it in all its glory only thanks to the work of restorers. Missing elements, such as tables or chairs, as well as lighting, have been replaced with replicas made according to original designs. The town hall's vestibule is decorated with lamps based on Winter's designs, which there was not enough money for at the time of construction.

The town hall was created during the onset of the economic crisis, and due to a lack of funds, the headquarters of the city leadership ended up being less ostentatious than initially planned. While the construction part was completed according to the design, savings were made on artistic decoration. Only a large relief with motifs of glassmaking professions, typical of Jablonec, was completed in the council chamber. Conversely, the pedestal for the glassmaker statue on the staircase in front of the town hall remained empty, and the allegorical statues planned to be at the top of the facade were also not realized.

The Jablonec town hall was part of a generous interwar plan for a new look of the city center. Besides the city leadership, it also housed commercial businesses that helped finance the construction, including a café with a terrace, a restaurant, a wine bar, a municipal savings bank, two dozen shops, and the still-functioning cinema for four hundred spectators. The cinema was one of the first functional components of the town hall, welcoming its first audience on October 29, 1932, a quarter of a year before the inaugural council meeting.
