The two-storey main building of the town hall was built in 1402, the magistrate's building next to it in 1535. The building owes a number of carved figures and scenes to Master Ruhalm, all of which have their origins in little stories and anecdotes. The little man in the beams of the magistrate's building, for example, is sticking his bare backside out at potential attackers.
