The dominant building on the square - Obermarkt 24 - is the broad town hall standing on the northeast side of the market square, which was built between 1410 and 1474 and into which parts of a previous building were included. It is a typical Renaissance building. In later centuries a number of alterations were made, e.g. B. Replacement of the late Gothic pitched roof with the now preserved gable roof and the gable was remodeled in a historicizing manner in 1857. The presented tower houses a tower clock that points to all four sides. At the northeast corner of the building there is an extension from 1912 in place of the former town front festival (Stockhaus). On the first floor there is the Lorenz chapel (1514) and, since 1986, a carillon made of Meissen porcelain with twelve bells, which intones the Steiger song “Glück auf, Glück auf, der Steiger is coming” daily at 11:15 am and 4:15 pm. Other melodies can also be played, also using a keyboard. Source: de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obermarkt_(Freiberg)
