Lübeck. Rathaus

Lübeck Town Hall is one of the most beautiful town halls in Germany. In 1230 its construction started right in the centre of the Old Town on the market. The dark bricks of the Town Hall make a striking contrast to the traditional red-brick construction of the surrounding buildings. The patricians extended the building several times, adding the magnificent freestone facade, the decorative balcony and the three towers, known locally as the“giants”.From 1230, three gabled houses were constructed on the marketplace and extended over the next few centuries to ultimately create the Hansesaal (Hanseatic Hall) for meetings; and the Danzelhus (Dance Hall) for social meetings. Its interior boasts a grand audience hall: Don't be surprised to see the doors to this former courtroom have different heights. Acquitted defendants were allowed to leave the hall via the tall door, sentenced defendants had to remove their hats and leave via the low door.
