Town hall with gilded roof

The town hall and the city church behind it form the unmistakable silhouette of Schwabach's market square ("Königsplatz") and have become the trademark of the entire city.After the renovation, which was completed in 2002, the town hall of Schwabach shines in new splendor.
The history of the town hallThe present town hall was built in 1528/29 and changed over and over again through renovations and extensions over the centuries. For example, the north wing was embellished in 1901-1904 by the placement of a decorative truss and the cultivation of a wood carving choir.In the year 2001 a complete renovation of the then over 470 years old building took place. To top it off, the two turrets of the town hall received their golden roofs.Citizens and friends of the city financed the golden roofs with the purchase of 2,000 leaf-gilded tiles. That this is Schwabacher gold leaf, goes without saying.Reference and further information: schwabach.de/de/schwabach-erleben/tourismus/sehenswuerdigkeiten/1252-rathaus.html

Schwabach is a gold club town. Gilded roofs are reminiscent of the old guild. Great market place.
