Stadtwaage, Heritage monument in Osnabrück, Germany.

The Stadtwaage is a two-storey, gabled building of limestone rubble masonry at Markt 28, between the Old Town Hall and St. Mary's Church. Its four-step crow-stepped gable, whose coping slabs continue as horizontal storey cornices, gives six cornices in all. A slightly pointed portal with four near-square windows above leads inside; the city coat of arms held by two bearded men in the gable points to the Renaissance.

This building was constructed in 1532 as the city's official weighing house, where merchants had their goods checked. Its construction reflects the flourishing trade period in Osnabrück during the early modern era.

The name Stadtwaage refers to the building's former role as the city's public weigh house, used for market trade together with the neighbouring Old Town Hall. Today the building still serves the city administration, among other things as a registry office for civil weddings.

The building sits centrally in the old town and is easy to reach on foot while exploring the historic streets. The surrounding area offers other sights that can be visited together.

This building was more than just a place to check weight - it was a symbol of the city's authority over commerce. Its central location made it a familiar meeting point for traders and townspeople.
