Old Town Hall (Dinkelsbühl)
The old town hall in Dinkelsbühl , a town in the Central Franconian district of Ansbach ( Bavaria ), was essentially built in the 14th century. The former town hall at Altrathausplatz 14 is a protected architectural monument .
history
After the town hall on the Ledermarkt fell victim to a fire in 1483/84, the town acquired two residential buildings to use as town hall. The two buildings were connected with a gatehouse . When Dinkelsbühl lost its imperial immediacy and became part of the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1806 , the town hall had become too big. In 1855 the city administration moved into the former star restaurant at Segringer Straße 30. From 1887 the building was used as a school building.
description
