Ulm Town Hall

The Ulm Town Hall, located in the center of the German city of the same name, was first mentioned in documents from 1370. Then the northern wing was built, intended for trade purposes, which has not survived to this day. In 1383, a second wing was added to the building, and it was called the House of the Court.

As a town hall, the old three-storey building began to serve since 1419. During World War II, the building and interior of the Ulm Town Hall were significantly damaged. To this day, only the southern wing of the town hall, famous for its unique step pediment, has survived. In the XVI century, an astronomical clock was installed on the building, which can be seen now in its original place.

On the eastern facade, decorated with ancient frescoes representing scenes from the Old Testament, a solar glass clock was installed. Also at the end of the XVI century was reconstructed the northern facade with high arcades and frescoes depicting the glorification of justice.
