We´ve only one "Obere Rathaushalle" in Germany, it´s in Bremen and means a ballroom at the townhall.
The people of Bremen call it at this way colloquial.

Word by word translation:
Obere = Upper
Rathaus = Councilhouse (townhall)
Halle = Hall
Townhall (Cityhall) = Stadthalle in german
We go to the "Stadthalle" for concerts and son on.

It is "the main/ principal hall inside the Town Hall" (German) used for large functions.

www.freetranslation.com says this is the German for upper city hall hall

whilst halle is hall again.
