Old Town Hall, Munich

The Old Town Hall (German Altes Rathaus), until 1874 the domicile of the municipality, serves today as a building for representative purposes for the city council in Munich, Bavaria, Germany.

[1] The building, documented for the first time in 1310, had its Grand Hall (Großer Saal) constructed in 1392/1394.

[3] The Old Town Hall was re-designed in late-gothic style by Jörg von Halsbach 1470–1480.

During World War II the building was severely damaged and the spire was reconstructed in 1971–1974.

The Grand Hall was the venue for the speech of Joseph Goebbels on November 9, 1938 which is known as the prelude for the Kristallnacht.
