Altstadt Town Hall

The town hall was located along the Altstädtischer Markt, a market near the Pregel River.

A bearded head was installed during the renovation of 1528; it included a mechanism which allowed a tongue to extend toward Kneiphof each hour.

A third Japper depicting a golden lion's head was added during the 1832 expansion and became popular with children.

Courses for the city's business school were held inside the town hall from 1907 to 1924.

The Altstadt Town Hall was rebuilt after an internal fire on 6 March 1940, but was subsequently destroyed in August 1944 during the Bombing of Königsberg in World War II.
