Rothenburg ob der Tauber Town Hall

The town hall consists of two parts of the building. The Gothic double building with the town hall tower was built between 1250 and 1400. In 1501 the eastern part fell victim to flames, while the western part with the 52 meter high tower has been preserved to this day. At the end of the 16th century, the master builder Leonhard Weidmann, who also built the master builder's house, the Hegereiter house and the hospital bastion, built the eastern part with the Renaissance facade. The Baroque arcade was added at the end of the 17th century. The building is a unique work of art.

In the town hall there is the History Vault, an exhibition with scenes from the Thirty Years' War. In addition, some of the dungeons located in the basement of the town hall were made accessible. A reconstructed torture chamber can also be seen there.

Beautiful historic town hall and at the same time the tourist center of Rothenburg. Accordingly, it is usually difficult to get through here.
