For centuries a monastery stood in the square on the site of today’s Stadthaus, which later became a Latin grammar school.

The Stadthaus provides a total area of 3,600 m2 on four levels, connected by an open staircase, with views of the interior and the exterior beyond.
It has become a local, national, and international hub for events in the fields of arts, science and scholarship, politics, business, media, and current topics of common interest to the public.
