Geraer Rathaus, Renaissance city hall in Gera, Germany

The three-story Renaissance building features a 57-meter tower, sandstone facades, and ornate portals connecting the Market Square with Kornmarkt.

Built between 1573 and 1575, the city hall survived a major fire in 1780 and underwent reconstruction in 1783, maintaining its original architectural design.

The entrance portal displays the coats of arms of Reuss and Solms families, along with the imperial double eagle of the Holy Roman Empire.

The tower observation platform, accessible by climbing 161 steps, provides panoramic views of Gera and houses an exhibition of historical photographs.

A carillon with 37 bells sits above the tower keeper's room, which remained inhabited until 1939 by municipal fire watchers.
