Rathaus (Old City Hall)  

The term "Old City Hall" comprises all buildings erected between the 14th and 17th century in the block bordered by Rathausplatz, Rathausgässchen and Theresienstraße. The so-called Wolff building was constructed between 1617 and 1622 on the site of former Gothic buildings. The design by Jakob Wolff the Younger, with its three-storey western façade, subdivided in Classical style, and erected opposite the eastern choir of St Sebaldus' Church, is modelled on Italian palazzo design, and to this day has remained a dominant element in the cityscape.
