Town Hall (Friedberg)
The town hall of Friedberg is the seat of parts of the city administration.
The stately Renaissance building on Marienplatz in the center of the historic old town was rebuilt around 1680 by a student of the Augsburg builder Elias Holl after it had been destroyed in the Thirty Years War . In the conference room in which the city council meetings are held, there are well-preserved frescoes by the Munich history painter Josef Widmann from 1892 and a coffered ceiling from the time it was built. The historic town hall tower was rebuilt in 1911.
Up until the 19th century, the Schranne , a grain store with a sales point, was housed on the west side on the ground floor . In the eastern part there was a bakery sales point and a customs shop where the city tax was collected. On the south side there is a memorial plaque, which commemorates a visit by Pope Pius VI. remembered who drove from Vienna via Friedberg to Augsburg on May 2, 1782 .
