Town Hall Bad Waldsee

Visually striking in a beautiful old town of Bad Waldsee, the town hall 🤩👍
simply an eye-catcher 👍

A pillar in the mayor's office bears the carved stone inscription: "In the year 1426, the house was built, and Ulrich Kudrer was mayor and master builder." At that time, the town had around 500 inhabitants, severely humiliated people who were "dishonorable, disloyal, perjured, without rights, and convicted" if they rebelled against the harsh dictates of the Waldburg lordship. The town hall was a reaction to this oppression. It had to be large enough to coexist with the castle and the monastery. And since Ulrich Kudrer was not only a good mayor but also a brilliant planner, he succeeded in translating the citizens' needs into architecture.
