The front of the old town hall in Leipzig is opposite the main entrance to the Mädlerpassage and is a beautiful Renaissance building. It is also the landmark backdrop for the famous Leipzig Christmas market.

The first town hall building on this site dates back to the 14th century. The building was designed from 1556 by Hieronymus Lotter, then mayor of Leipzig, also well known as the architect of the Saxon Elector August for his hunting lodge Augustusburg near Chemnitz.

The venerable building was erected in the middle of the 14th century, because the wealthy citizens of Leipzig wanted to create a place that was appropriate for the various functions regulating urban life in the growing trading city.
