Walter Ruoff won the design competition for the new Rodenkirchen town hall. At that time Rodenkirchen was still an independent city.

Ruoff won the Cologne Architecture Award in 1967 for his design. Later Rodenkirchen became part of the city of Cologne. The Town Hall was still used for administration after. In 2005 the City Conservator Mr. Krings noted the importance of the town hall, but rejected the recognition as a memorial. But after a decision by the City Council of Cologne, it will soon be demolished. A competition for a new building was decided in 2018.
