The Old Town Hall was built by the master builder Hans Nopl, the master carpenter Hans Stieber and the stonemason Andreas Falk from 1539 to 1545. 1914-1917 it was rebuilt. The carillon was donated to the city in 1983. On the ground floor of the town hall, since 1981, as in former times, shops were restored. The beamed ceiling in the large meeting room is a good 16th century craftsmanship. The Old Town Hall used to be not only an administrative building but also the center of social life of the city. There were many theater and dance events. Today, a city council meeting is held there once a year. Also wedding ceremonies as well as special receptions take place in this historical building. Today is still on the side of the pillory and various shops below in the passage. Especially at Christmas time it is a real highlight at the Christmas market. The glockenspiel sounds again and again at certain times.

Built in the early Renaissance period between 1539 and 1543, the Old Town Hall is today the landmark of the city of Weiden. A town hall stood here as early as 1400, but burned down to its foundations in 1536. While the new town hall, subsequently constructed by master builder Hans Nopl, served the administration on the upper floors, the ground floor housed sixteen shops. Since the construction of the New Town Hall in 1978, a city council meeting has been held here only once a year. It is also used for weddings and special receptions. Shops still house the ground floor today. A remarkable carillon chimes daily at 11:35 a.m. and 4:35 p.m.

Built between 1539 and 1548 by master builder Hans Nopl, master carpenter Hans Stieber and stonemason Andreas Falk, the Old Town Hall in the centre of Weiden's beautiful old town has lost none of its historical charm thanks to extensive renovation between 1914 and 1917. The beamed ceiling in the large meeting room is particularly impressive, a work of craftsmanship from the 16th century.

A special feature of the building's facade is the sonorous carillon facing the Upper Market, which has been delighting the people of Weiden musically since 1983. Every day at 11:35 a.m. and 4:35 p.m. you can hear a selection of songs from the repertoire of 99 works.

The Old Town Hall used to serve not only as an administrative building, but was also the centre of social life in the town. Many theatre and dance events also took place here.
