Vaduz Town Hall

Vaduz Town Hall from 1932
The Vaduz Town Hall was built in 1932/33. It was thoroughly renovated between 1982 and 1984.
The balcony fresco by Johannes Troyer on the south façade shows St. Urban, the patron saint of winegrowers. The municipal coat of arms carved in stone can be seen on the entrance front.
In 1931, the municipal assembly and in 1932 the reinforced municipal council approved the construction of a new Vaduz Town Hall, the cost of which was almost three times the total income of the municipality. The driving force behind the project, which was built in 1932/1933, was the then mayor Ludwig Ospelt.
The economic and financial situation in Vaduz at the time was anything but good. Nevertheless, in 1931, people were brave enough to agree to a project whose estimated cost was up to CHF 350,000.00. A huge sum for the time, if you compare it with the annual tax and total revenue.
The municipal assembly decided on November 17, 1931 to build a town hall with premises for the Bank in Liechtenstein on the building site opposite the "Engel" inn. Numerous planners tried to get the contract. Ultimately, Franz Roeckle was allowed to present his project drafts to the reinforced municipal council on January 29, 1932 and was awarded the contract on the same day. The drafts were revised several times in collaboration with the mayor. On September 27, 1932, the permanent municipal council approved Roeckle's revised plans, and on September 30, the reinforced municipal council approved them.
The construction work progressed quickly and the town hall was officially opened on November 19, 1933. In addition to the mayor's office, the municipal council and the municipal administration, the Vaduz town hall served a variety of purposes. It housed the Bank in Liechtenstein, the Liechtensteinische Landesbank, the post office and various clubs. It has been renovated and rebuilt several times.
A comprehensive renovation took place in 1984 under Mayor Arthur Konrad. Since then, the town hall has been used exclusively for municipal purposes. Ludwig Ospelt (mayor from 1930 - 1933 and 1936 - 1942) was the first incumbent to have his seat in the town hall.
