The Würzburg town hall is not a single complex, but a group of buildings originally different purpose from different times. In 1256, a city council was first mentioned in Würzburg. The citizens are thus significantly involved in the administration of the city. In 1316, the mayor and the council acquired the Grafeneckart - a visible sign of bourgeois independence towards the episcopal sovereign.

Originally the seat of an episcopal official, the building has a Romanesque tower and, with the 13th century Wenceslas Hall, the city's oldest secular building.

Today, the Grafeneckart forms the oldest part of the town hall, which has been steadily expanded over the centuries. To the west is connected to the Grafeneckart of 1659/60 built in the style of the late Renaissance Red building to the north of the secularized monastery of the Shoemaker Carmelites, which was bought in the 19th century by the city council.

The bombing of 16 March 1945 survived only the Grafeneckart and the gable front of the Red Building. In 1949, however, the council was able to return to its meeting room in the Red Building. "Stronger than death and annihilation is our will to live." - this commitment to the front door of the hall documents the spirit of those years. The adjoining the red building south wing was completed in 1986. He houses the new council chamber. The monumental frescoes by Wolfgang Lenz on the hall walls show important people and events from the history of Würzburg.

In front of the Grafeneckart is the baroque four-tube fountain, created around 1765 by L. v. d. Auvera and Peter Wagner.

The city hall Würzburg is a building complex in the old town of Würzburg. It was destroyed during the Second World War and reconstructed in the early 1950s and rebuilt.

The buildings are used by the city administration. The town hall can be crossed from Grafeneckart to Rückermainstraße. The new council chamber on the first floor of the south wing shows scenes from the history of Würzburg on the walls of the hall in frescoes by Wolfgang Lenz.

The Grafeneckart is the oldest part of the Würzburg town hall. It is located in the old town near the four tube fountain. Through the 55 meter high, Romanesque tower, the historic monument between Domstraße and Alter Mainbrücke can be seen from afar.
