The current city hall was first used in the 14th century. The city council was quite small, back then, and only had a few employed officials. At first, only a residence in the eastern corner of the city hall was used. Later on, the two houses on the west side were added to it. In 1554, the city hall was completely renovated and the three houses were merged to form one building. That was also when the current facade was built on. From then on, jurisdiction was exercised in the city hall’s new aldermen’s hall. Before that, justice was administered outside on the square.
