Old City Hall, Renaissance town hall in Leipzig, Germany
The Old City Hall presents a symmetrical stone facade with ornate architectural elements, arcaded walkways, and a central tower rising above the market square.
Constructed in 1556 under the direction of architect Hieronymus Lotter, this building served as Leipzig's administrative center until the construction of the new city hall in 1905.
The grand ballroom, extending 53 meters in length, has hosted numerous municipal gatherings, from Saxon prince celebrations to craftsmen festivals throughout the centuries.
Located at Markt 1 in central Leipzig, the building now functions as the Museum of City History, opening Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 to 18:00.
The structure features Germany's longest building inscription, which runs continuously along the entire perimeter just below the roofline.
