    The town hall tower is the highest tower in Görlitz, offering the best view of the city and the surrounding area. Every full hour between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. you can climb the town hall tower and enjoy the view as part of a guided tour.
    Meeting point is in front of the stairs at the foot of the tower. Tickets are available there immediately before the tour (October 2019: 4 EUR for adults/ 1.50 EUR for children).
    Once at the top, you can add the tower stamp to your admission ticket, so to speak as "proof" and a souvenir for the ascent.
    The tour lasts about 45 minutes.

      The town hall tower was raised at the beginning of the 16th century, in 1524 it got a clock with two dials, which was converted to a twelve-hour clock in 1584 by Bartholomäus Scultetus. This also connected the normal day time clock with the moon phase clock above. Between 1537 and 1538, Wendel Roskopf the Elder installed the proclamation pulpit, which still exists today, next to the steps of the town hall. In 1591 this was supplemented with the statue of Justitia as a sign of the high jurisdiction of the council.
