Building history and description
The northern old core of the complex, the patrician house castle with tower, was built around 1300 by the Regensburg patrician family of Gumprecht. The Hofmeister and Altmann families followed the Gumprecht family as owners of the facility. The two-bay St. Christophorus house chapel with Gothic cross vault was located on the first floor of the tower . The stone town mouse can also be found there . In 1441 the house castle was acquired by the city and since then has housed the city scales , from which the current name of the house castle is derived. In addition, a gentleman's drinking room was set up in the building , where receptions, celebrations and weddings of distinguished families took place. In 1541, at the request of Emperor Charles V, the religious talk between Johannes Eck and Philipp Melanchthon took place here, during which attempts were in vain to overcome religious rifts between Catholics and Protestants.
The three-storey four-wing complex with a hipped roof was rebuilt around 1440 and from 1572 to 1587. The renovation of the inner courtyard with the construction of Renaissance arcades in 1575 greatly enhanced the old house castle. At the Reichstag in 1653 a writing room was set up in the building, where the minutes of the Reichstag were drawn up in the so-called dictatorship room. After the beginning of the Perpetual Reichstag , these rooms were expanded into the Reich dictatorship room .
In 1782, the two-storey classicist Napoleon Hall was built into the north wing . This hall housed the Imperial City Library from 1783 to 1875.
After the southern parts of the building were destroyed in the war in 1944/45, the courtyard arcades and the southern buildings were restored and expanded. Today the building is the seat of the administrative court .
