In 1621 Joachim Ernst acquired the building, which was made up of two town houses , and had it converted into the official residence of the Margrave's senior officials. In 1702 and 1761 the structure was rebuilt again. It was used in the following years as a regional court , district office , tax office and district office . It has been Gunzenhausen's town hall since 1974.
In the inner courtyard of the building is the cross in the Altmühltal , a three meter high statue. Made of sandstone in the late Gothic style, it was located on a trade route between Nuremberg and Augsburg and is decorated with Christian motifs. It dates from 1442.
On August 3, 1757, Karl Wilhelm Friedrich died of a stroke in the building .
