The Old Town Hall was built around 1420 as a municipal purchase and wheelhouse. It applies with its magnificent half-timbered south gable as the main work of the Alemannic half-timbered building. From 1586 to 1589 a gable front with clock towers in the Renaissance style was erected on the north side. In 1592, an astronomical clock was added, the oldest functioning wrought-iron clock tower in Germany.

On the occasion of a renovation in 1926 was donated by the citizens of Esslingen a carillon with 24 bells. The chimes can be heard daily at 8, 12, 15, 18, 19.30.

Old Town Hall, Esslingen am Neckar
The Old Town Hall in Esslingen am Neckar is, alongside Esslingen Castle, one of the landmarks of the historic old town.
Description
The Old Town Hall in Esslingen am Neckar was built around 1420 as a municipal trading and tax house and, with its magnificent half-timbered south gable, is considered the masterpiece of Alemannic half-timbered architecture. Between 1586 and 1589, Heinrich Schickhardt built a gable front with a delicate clock tower in the Renaissance style on the north side. In 1592, an astronomical clock was added with the allegorical figures of Justitia and Temperantia, which move with each hour. An eagle, the heraldic animal of the Free Imperial City, flaps its wings. On the occasion of a renovation in 1926, the citizens of Esslingen donated a carillon with 24 bells. Through another citizens' initiative in 1976, the carillon was renewed again and five bells were added. This gives it a range of more than two octaves. There are more than 200 songs available, which are controlled by perforated tapes. The carillon can be heard every day at 8 a.m., 12 p.m., 3 p.m., 6 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Text / Source: Esslinger Stadtmarketing & Tourismus GmbH, Marktplatz 16, Esslingen am Neckar esslingen-info.com/attraktion/altes-rathaus-814f666e6f

Very beautiful building steeped in history. If you are there at the right time you can watch a beautiful carillon.
