A Jewel of Half-Timbered Construction
by Weissdorn
The old Rathaus (city hall) is an impressive half-timbered building, which unfortunately is not really still in it's original state inside (it's apartments and a store for buying glasses today). Only the exterior has been kept like it was. It the 16th century this was the residence of the city hall and the municipal militia arms storage center. They used this building for this purpos until 1782, when the city fathers moved their offices to the Chancellor Palace (next to the Vicor's Church (Stadtpfarrkirche) and now today it's located in the City Palace.

Well, its about 100 km northeast of Frankfurt/M, right smack dab in the geographical center of Europe.
