Historical Merchants' Hall, Renaissance trading building in Münsterplatz, Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany.

The dark red Historical Merchants' Hall features four ground-level arcades, decorative turrets, and crow-stepped gables on its high roof with two attic stories.

Originally constructed in 1378 as a customs office, the building underwent major expansion between 1520 and 1532 under Cathedral master builder Lienhart Müller.

The Emperors' Hall displays portraits of Habsburg dynasty members and commemorates William I's visit during the 1876 Siegesdenkmal inauguration.

The building includes three event spaces: the Emperors' Hall for 350 people, the Kaminzimmer for 90, and the Rococo Room accommodating 70 visitors.

The inner courtyard spans 300 square meters and hosts the annual Freiburg Weinkost wine tasting event through its historical storage space.
