City Hall in the city of Bamberg is a very important historical buildings. It is located in the middle of a small island in the river Regnitz created artificially. It is connected to the mainland by two bridges, which are called the Lower and Upper.

The first historical mention of this town hall dates from the end of the XIV century, as well as an unusual choice of location of the building explains the legend. After the regular performance of the citizens against the power of the bishop in Bamberg, there was a large fire, which resulted in completely burned down the town hall. The Bishop was so angry that forbade residents to erect a new building on their land. Then residents used their ingenuity and decided to bypass the ban of the authorities. It is for this reason, was created an artificial island in the river, which subsequently built a new town hall.

Over time the building was repeatedly subjected to changes and restructuring. For example, in the XV century, it was restored in the Gothic style, and in the XVIII century thanks to the works of Johann Jakob Kyuhelya it has acquired a modern look, designed in the Baroque style. In the same period, he worked on the facade of the town hall artist Johann Anvander, whose works can be seen not only in the vaults of the building, but also in niches on the columns.

The interior of the town hall survived Conference Room, which appeared here in the middle of the XVIII century. Currently, there is stored the largest collection of porcelain and earthenware in Germany. Town Hall, since 1993, has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This is a great and quite unusual building, made in several styles, open to the public all comers. On the territory of the Town Hall Museum operates.
