history
On the site of the existing building, a building was erected as a vicarage in 1582 under Hans Fugger . This original building was used as such until 1601, when the Dominican monastery in Kirchheim was founded. From then on it was used as the home of the iron man and the historian . It also served as a prison and Schrannenplatz until it was used as a landscape Town Hall when it was owned by the government communities. The municipality of Kirchheim did not acquire ownership of the town hall until 1842. At this point, the building from the 16th century had already been replaced in the 18th century. A crack and rollover for a new building was made in 1738 by master mason Joseph Meitinger from Ustersbach . Payments to the master mason were made on September 3, 1740, November 3, 1740, and February 13, 1742. By the third payment, 2,663 florins had already been built . The total cost of the new building was 4024 florins. The new building was carried out by master mason Johann Michael Hennevogl from Kirchheim and the carpenters Barthel from Eppishausen and Anton Höck from Haselbach . The carpenters Michael Ruef and Anton Schmid from Kirchheim were also involved in the construction , as documented by a receipt from July 18, 1743. The painter Franz Anton Sauter from Waltenhausen also carried out work for which he received 65 florins according to a receipt dated December 16, 1750. Renovations took place in 1871, 1889 and 1908, among others.
Building description
The town hall is a three-storey, yellow plastered, gable roof building with five longitudinal axes . The floors are delimited on all sides with white plaster strips. A profiled eaves cornice runs below the edge of the roof and is continued on the southern face. The two outer axes, of the total of five axes, are bevelled and slightly concave. The town hall is accessed through a rectangular door on the right inclined axis. The middle part of the front, with three axes, is convexly arched. The gable is designed as a two-storey tail gable that rises above the profiled cornice. This is limited by richly broken volutes . A round arch panel with a rectangular window is attached to the lower of the two gable floors. The end of the arched cover breaks through the transverse belt cornice . Above this begins the bay-like, arched substructure of the roof ridge, which is bordered by pilaster strips. In this, in turn, a round arched window and above a tail cornice is attached. The roof turret itself is landscape-octagonal with arched openings on the main sides. This is covered over a profiled cornice with an onion dome . The lying roof structure of the town hall consists of a collar beam roof . The headbands in red chalk are painted with a cross pattern.
