Old town hall, Administrative building in Bamberg, Germany.
The Rathaus stands on an artificial island in the Regnitz River, featuring a baroque facade with half-timbered construction and decorated walls.
Built in 1461, the Rathaus location separated imperial authority from episcopal power, marking a division between different governing bodies in medieval Bamberg.
The interior displays numerous frescoes depicting local traditions, regional tales, and municipal ceremonies that shaped Bamberg's civic development over centuries.
The Rathaus offers guided tours through its historical chambers, municipal offices, and observation points overlooking the Regnitz River and surrounding architecture.
The building incorporates both land-based and water-supported foundations, utilizing engineering methods from multiple construction periods to maintain stability.
