The lance tower on the roof is the symbol of the city of Ochsenfurt. The turret contains a puppet show by the Würzburg master clockmaker Hans Sycher, whose mechanical work also drives a moon clock. The play is shown every hour on the hour. On the top floor, two oxen bump their horns every time the bell rings. Below that, two dials show the hour, moon age and moon phase. A skeleton as a symbol of transience turns the hourglass while two windows open next to him, from which the councilors look. Below, a bearded mayor from Tilman Riemenschneider's workshop moves his mouth to every chime of the bell. At the bottom of the turret appears a virgin with the coat of arms of Franconia in a small opening. Source: wuerzburgwiki.de/wiki/Neues_Rathaus_(Ochsenfurt)

On the gabled roof of the town hall (1497) is the lance tower - the symbol of Ochsenfurt. The figure clock not only shows the ox as the city's coat of arms, the days of the month and the position of the moon can also be stored on the astronomical clock. In addition to the city coat of arms, youth is embodied by the virgin, old age by the councilors and death by the skeleton.
