New Town Hall
1867-1874 is the time that George von Hauberrisser spent to create the New Town Hall. It used for the mayor in order for him to be able to work in an office. It was also used as the headquarters for the city of administration. The building is about 90 meters long which is equivalent to about 300 feet. It contains wonderful stain glass windows and is very spacious. A cool fact about the New Town Hall is that you are able to see an reenactment of the wedding of Duke William V and Renata of Lorraine at the Glockenspiel. Everyday at certain times, life size figures reenact important scenes that have happened in Germany.
