The monument shows the prince consort in the robes of a Knight of the Trouser Order. In his hands he holds the blueprint of London's Crystal Palace, a building he designed himself for the first World Exhibition in London in 1851, and a marshal's baton. The larger-than-life statue, cast in bronze, was made based on a model by the English sculptor William Theed the Younger.

1階のダンスホールの上には、同じくらいの大きさの広間がありました。その梁のある天井は、今日でも3本のねじれた木の柱で支えられています。それは市民の誇りであり、街で最も格式高い祝祭の広間とされていました。壁には歴代の市長全員の肖像画が飾られていました。ここでは裕福な市民の結婚式が祝われ、あらゆる種類の「ダンスの楽しみ」や「宴会」が開催されました。君主たちも、これらの祝祭への街からの招待を喜んで受け入れていました。

コブルク市の市庁舎に関する最も古い記録は、14世紀の最後の10年間にさかのぼります。1405年と1407年には教会の墓地にある市庁舎が、1414年には市場にある「新しい市庁舎」が言及されています。かつて市庁舎は、領主に対する都市の政治的および経済的独立を象徴していました。この独立は、コブルクの住民が14世紀に勝ち取ったものでした。すでに1324年には、市は税金を徴収する権利を持っており、1331年には都市権が拡大されました。そのため、これらの権利と自由を執行できる当局も必要でした。6人のメンバーからなる評議会が最初に言及されたのは1343年です。遅くとも1351年からは、これらの評議会が市長を選出していました。この時期に、最初の市庁舎がモーリッツ教会（Morizkirche）の隣に建てられたと考えられます。現在の市庁舎は、1414年に新しく作られた市場に設けられました。高い急勾配の屋根と、時計が取り付けられた屋根窓を備えていました。

Located on the market square

In 1543, Duke Johann Ernst of Saxony decided to move his court from the Veste Coburg down into the city and chose the site of the dissolved Franciscan monastery, along which the city wall ran to the east. The monastery was in the area of the former middle courtyard. Recent research attributes the architectural design to the Saxon architect Nikolaus Gromann.[1] The building shows clear stylistic parallels with the work of Gromann, who may also have been close to the building project in organizational terms as the appointed court architect of Johann Ernst's half-brother, Elector Johann Friedrich. The complex was built until around 1547 under the construction management of Caspar Vischer. A complex was created around two square courtyards, which could be entered from the south via Steingasse.[2] The buildings of the first courtyard with the stair tower, the corner bay window and the dormer windows from this period are still preserved.[3] Between the courtyards was the three-storey princely building, which was accessed via another large stair tower on the north side and had a large hall and a dining room. The palace chapel and other living quarters were located around the second courtyard on the east side, the kitchen on an irregular floor plan to the north and other subordinate rooms to the west. This complex can still be seen with various subordinate extensions on Bieler's floor plan from 1679. It is unclear whether the third courtyard with the stables had already begun in 1543. Only paid craftsmen were employed for the construction and not, as was usual at the time, serf laborers. This special feature is said to have been the reason for the visit of Emperor Charles V in 1547. Charles is said to have given the newly occupied complex the name Ehrenburg on this occasion. The new city palace was inhabited as the residence of a ruling duke until the death of Johann Ernst in 1553 and was then only used extensively.

Until 1881, the Coburg state parliament met in the regimental room in the Coburg town hall. The Coburg savings bank, which had been housed in the town hall since 1821, decided in 1936 to build a new building. This was to consist of a new building along Rosengasse, which was completed in August 1939. In addition, in a second construction phase, the savings bank building at Markt 2/3, which stands next to the town hall and has a rococo facade, the so-called Nonnenmacherhaus, was to be demolished and the town hall extended to Rosengasse with new rooms for the savings bank and the town police. The town hall was to receive a new, uniform symmetrical facade design with a second Coburg bay window on the corner of Markt/Rosengasse. At Adolf Hitler's request, the reconstruction plans were presented to him in the Reich Chancellery on March 2, 1938 and met with his approval. According to plans by Reinhard Claaßen, the bay window was to include historical depictions from the period 1922 to 1933 and a sculpture with the "Head of the Führer". The outbreak of the Second World War put an end to the implementation of these plans. Source: Wikipedia

The old Coburg town hall stood in the churchyard next to the Morizkirche. The new town hall was first mentioned in the town register in 1414. It was built in the south of the market as a council and department store. Craftsmen and tradesmen also had their places of work in the late Gothic building. The western cellar dates from this period. In the following centuries, extensive extensions and reconstructions were carried out. From 1577 to 1580, the stonemason and master builder Hans Schlachter built a new eastern wing next to the Gothic Old Town Hall, which reached as far as Ketschengasse. Dendrochronologically, the gable roof structure of the east wing was dated to the years 1577/78. It has a span of about 15.0 meters, a height of about 9.6 meters, a length of about 14.6 meters and a slope of about 52 degrees. The construction consists of 17 rafters with three tenoned collar beam layers.[1] The Renaissance town hall, a four-storey building, was given, among other things, a large hall and a so-called Coburg bay window on Ketschengasse, on which there is also a portrait of Hans Schlachter. In 1579, the Coburg city architect Paul Weißmann added a stair tower to the group of buildings in the inner courtyard, which was equipped with a stone spiral staircase. The next extensive renovation was carried out from 1750 to 1752. The two buildings were given a Rococo facade with coloured plaster and were combined under a three-storey hipped mansard roof. A triangular gable decorated with a figure of Mauritius, which divides the facade into three times four axes, was placed in the middle of the building. The last fundamental renovation was overseen by the Coburg city architect Max Böhme from 1901 to 1904. Among other things, a wide balcony with a lattice parapet was added in the middle of the building above the ground floor. The previously plain ground floor façade was redesigned with neo-baroque elements and the entrance and a staircase leading to the second floor with a square stairwell were rebuilt. In addition, the floor plan of the service rooms underwent major changes.
