The town hall in Heilbronn is located roughly in the center of the historic town of Heilbronn . Its main building is the main part of the Old Town Hall , which was rebuilt after it was destroyed in World War II . A four-winged, modern building complex is attached to this, which encloses the ruins of the old city archive from the 18th century , which have been converted into a hall of honour.
An older town hall building near the church well (seven-tube well) is described ( “around 1535 an even older town hall building near the church well was destroyed by fire” ). [1] The history of a town hall in Heilbronn that is known to us today begins with the mention of a town hall on Kirchbrunnenstraße, with the area of the west tower of the Kilianskirche and further west an older market square. In contrast to this, the neighboring current market square was initially built over with a service yard. The war-damaged building of today's Heilbronn town hall on Kaiserstraße once bordered on the Kieselmarkt on which Lammgasse and Lohtorstraße (formerly Judengasse), two historic main streets of the market town met. [2] With the synagogue (1357), the ritual baths and the cemetery of the Heilbronn Jews, the Kieselmarkt was the center of the Jewish community in Heilbronn in the late Middle Ages. After Jews were banned from the city in the late 15th century, the site was acquired by the imperial city of Heilbronn and built over. [3]
