Bern Town Hall (built between 1406 and 1417) The Town Hall, built between 1406 and 1417, housed the meeting rooms for the Small and Great Councils. The Kreuzgasse (Cross Lane) gained prominence as an urban center (Zähringer town) with the construction of the new Town Hall between 1406 and 1417. While the mayor and council had possessed a modest meeting place since the mid-13th century in the courthouse behind the choir of St. Vincent's Church (parish church of St. Vincent), this building contained only a small council or courtroom. The old town hall was too small for the meetings of the Council of Two Hundred, which had been institutionalized during the constitutional reform of 1294, nor for the council elections held annually during the Easter holidays, nor for the periodic accounting of the city's officials and administrators. Therefore, since the second half of the 13th century, citizens and council members had held their meetings in the spacious monastery churches of the Franciscans and Dominicans. Only proceedings concerning the lower courts were usually held in the corner building next to the chancel of the parish church by the mayor, his deputy, the bailiff, and the court clerk. The mayor, along with his deputy, the bailiff, and the court clerk, was also usually present.

The arcades of Bern are one of the most distinctive features of Bern's UNESCO-protected Old Town. Brief description: * What are they? They are covered, arcade-like walkways that extend along the main streets of the Old Town at ground level. * Length: With a total length of approximately six kilometers, they form one of the longest weather-protected shopping promenades in Europe. * Origin: The arcades were created after the devastating city fire of 1405 during the reconstruction of the city using sandstone. The houses were extended forward, narrowing the alleyways and creating the arcades. * Purpose: Originally, they served as covered work and sales areas for craftsmen and merchants. Today, they protect pedestrians and shoppers from rain, snow, and sun while strolling and house numerous boutiques, cafés, and shops, often with adjoining vaulted cellars. * Architecture: They are typical of Bern's medieval sandstone buildings and contribute significantly to the distinctive charm of the old town.

The Rathausplatz (Town Hall Square) in Bern is a historic square in Bern's Old Town (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), dominated primarily by the Town Hall building itself.
