description
The town hall square is still in the center of the city and is in the immediate vicinity of the old salt works . Poststrasse runs from Kammerbotenstrasse via Rathausplatz to Kaiserplatz in the north. The town hall square is dominated by the old town hall in the west and bordered by civil buildings in the north and the Bürgerbräu in the south. To the east, the square opens wide to Salinenstrasse, the civil servant staff of the saltworks administration and the buildings of the saltworks itself.
history
The square was probably built in the 12th or 13th century as a market square, which at that time also occupied a large part of today's Poststraße. Until the great fire of 1834 , the square was dominated by the old town hall from the 15th century in the center of the square. After the fire, the square was redesigned; the town hall, completed in 1851 with Gothic-style shapes in the west, once again formed the design focus of the square and is now where the Boblmetzgerhaus used to be. In the south was the Arnschinkhaus until the 1930s , where several traders had their shops. After a severe fire, the new administration building was built here in the Inn-Salzach style. The Wittelsbacherbrunnen was built in 1905, from that time on the square was called Wittelsbacherplatz . During the Third Reich , the town hall square was called the Platz der SA . From 1992, when the second pedestrian zone was being built in Poststrasse, the town hall square was also largely rededicated as a pedestrian zone.
