Town Hall (Landshut)
The Landshut Town Hall is a town hall in the old town of Landshut .
The stately wing structure within sight of the Martinskirche was created by merging and redesigning three originally individual Gothic houses. In 1380 the city acquired the middle house, in 1452 and 1503 the extensions were added. In 1570/71 the north wing was rebuilt, of which a corner bay window has been preserved.

From 1876 to 1880 Georg von Hauberrisser took care of the neo-Gothic town hall state hall. From 1880 to 1882 the murals were added, which go back to the fact that part of the building had been prepared as a dance hall at the Landshut princely wedding and the dance of the bride and groom took place here. The paintings by the Munich-based painters Ludwig von Löfftz , Rudolf Seitz , August Spieß (1841–1923) and Konrad Weigand (1842–1897) show a historicizing representation of the late medieval wedding procession of 1475.
