Altes Rathaus (Old Town Hall), Miltenberg
First recorded in 1379, Miltenberg鈥檚 Old Town Hall ranks among the city鈥檚 oldest and most important medieval civic buildings. Constructed from the region鈥檚 characteristic red sandstone, its outer walls bear visible flood marks, reminding visitors of the many times the Main River has overflowed and reshaped life in the old town.
Over the centuries the building has played many roles. Originally, it functioned as a weighing house, important for trade, and the upper floor was used as a council and dance hall. The ground floor served as storage, a warehouse, and a marketplace where traveling merchants displayed their goods.
Though the Old Town Hall is no longer the seat of municipal government, it hasn鈥檛 fallen silent. In modern times it can be rented out for a variety of public and private events - concerts, exhibitions, meetings - keeping it alive as a cultural and communal hub within the city.
