Altes Rathaus, former town hall in Stebbach, Gemmingen, Germany

The Altes Rathaus in Stebbach, part of Gemmingen, is a 1755 timber-framed building with a tall solid ground floor, one timber-framed storey and two roof storeys. Its nearly unchanged gable of 1755 shows diamond motifs in negative form beneath the upper-storey parapets, K-braces and St Andrew's crosses in the storage-window parapets, and profiled sills. A sandstone Baroque portal on the gable side carries a garlanded inscription naming Schultheiss Johann Jacob Lörtz and builder Johann Christoph Feihl of Stetten am Heuchelberg.

The Altes Rathaus in Stebbach was built in 1755, as recorded in the sandstone portal inscription naming Schultheiß Johann Jacob Lörtz and a community of 60 citizens. The inscription beside it names Johann Christoph Feihl of Stetten am Heuchelberg as the builder. The musician Hank Häberle lived in the building and was found dead there on 1 January 2007.
