    The oldest news about a town hall in Coburg comes from the last decade of the 14th century. A town hall in the churchyard is mentioned in 1405 and 1407, a "new town hall" on the market in 1414. In 1438 the city council bought four houses on the south side of the market square and had a new building erected in their place Council and department store served. It had a high and steep roof with a roof bay window to which the colored dial of a clock was attached. The shoemakers, drapers and furriers kept their goods for sale on the upper floors, while the butchers 'meat banks and the bakers' stalls found accommodation on the ground floor.

    After more than 100 years of use, this building turned out to be too small for the growing city, so in 1570 the council acquired the house on the southeast corner of the market square and an adjacent plot of land in Ketschengasse and commissioned the stonemason and master builder Hans Schlachter from Überlingen the construction of a new building. This new town hall was completed in 1580, and work on the interior continued until 1598. The Coburg city architect Paul Weißmann built the spiral staircase in the courtyard in 1579 and the vaults in the basement in 1581/82.

    The city now had a stately Renaissance town hall, which with its high, volute-adorned gable and the magnificent bay window with the Gothic old town hall towering next to it, formed an impressive assembly.

      Above the dance hall on the first floor, there was a hall just as large. Its beamed ceiling still rests on three twisted wooden pillars. It was the pride of the citizens and was considered the city's representative party room. The walls were still decorated with the portraits of all previous mayors. The weddings of rich citizens were celebrated here and all kinds of "dance festivities" and "feasts" were held. The princes also gladly accepted the city's invitations to these celebrations.

        The oldest information about a town hall in the city of Coburg comes from the last decade of the 14th century. A town hall in the churchyard is mentioned in 1405 and 1407, a "new town hall" on the market in 1414. A town hall used to symbolize the political and economic independence of the city from its sovereign. The people of Coburg fought for this independence in the 14th century. As early as 1324, the city had the right to collect taxes, and in 1331 expanded town rights followed. Therefore, authorities were needed that could enforce these rights and freedoms. A council with six members was first mentioned in 1343. These councils elected a mayor by 1351 at the latest. The first town hall next to the Morizkirche is also likely to have been built during this time. The current town hall was set up in 1414 on the newly built market. It had a high and steep roof with a roof bay window on which a clock was attached.
