Gothic Town Hall, Weißenburg / Imperial (Old) Town Hall
Historic Weißenburg!
The three-story sandstone block building was built at the height of the town's development as an imperial city between 1470 and 1480 (tower added in 1567). The site marks the intersection of the long-distance trade routes running through Weißenburg. The first floor houses the balcony, and the second floor houses the council and city court meeting rooms (no public viewing possible). Extensive, fundamental renovation between 2002 and 2004.

The Old Town Hall in Weißenburg, often referred to as the Imperial City Hall, is a historical building of great significance. The town hall was built between 1470 and 1476, during the heyday of the Imperial City of Weißenburg. The balcony was added in 1545, and the archive tower followed in 1567. The ground floor once housed commercial premises. Extensive renovations were carried out from 2002 to 2004.
