Markt Place and Old Town Hall

Leipzig, Germany
Sunday 7th July 2019
The Old Town Hall can truly be said to live up to its name - the cornerstone was laid in the year 1556. Since 1909, and still today, it has served as the Museum of City History. The building includes a ballroom, which is 53 metres (174 ft.) long. It has been used in the past for the royal festivals of Saxon's princes, patrician weddings, craftwork festivals, and student balls. Court proceedings have also been carried out there. Currently, among other events, the ballroom is used by the City of Leipzig for cultural events and concerts. The market place is easily reachable via the City Tunnel.
