History and architecture
The gabled , plastered brick building with a curved gable and round pinnacles on consoles was built in 1567 on the site of a previous building from the second half of the 14th century. The main floor is accessed via an outside staircase that was renewed in 1795. The lions holding the coat of arms were made in 1570. The cross-frame windows were freely reconstructed from 1952 to 1955 after changes in the 19th century and damage to the building in World War II . The stucco ceiling in the former meeting room shows allegories of peace and justice. The fireplace relief with the designation 1720 is a work by Heinrich Christian Hansche, it depicts a knight and the city's coat of arms.
