Town hall

Town Hall - the first town hall was built in the 14th century. It was expanded a century later. Throughout its history, it was often destroyed, e.g. in 1590 due to an earthquake. After the city was occupied by Prussia, King Frederick II ordered its demolition, only the approximately 90-meter tower remained. Its fate was sealed in 1945, when it was almost completely destroyed. Remains of the tower, the so-called "stump", blown up in 1966. In 2008, the construction of a new tower modeled on the original was completed. Its height is 78 meters including the spire and it is an excellent viewpoint of the entire city.
