There are several valuable stucco ceilings that still exist in this building . In the 18th century it became a silver braid manufacture. After the factory went bankrupt in 1828, the city of Weißenburg bought the building. From 1834 to 1905 the tax office was located in the building . It has been the city's new town hall since 1920. Weissenburg's administration was previously located in the old Gothic town hall at the other end of the market square for several hundred years . The New Town Hall was renovated from 1996 to 1998.
