Bamberg - Old Town Hall

(Local Name: Altes Rathaus) The Obere Brücke (Upper Bridge) in Bamberg has attractive views to the right of Klein-Venedig (Little Venice; old fishermen's houses). In the middle of the bridge is the Old Town Hall (rebuilt by J. M. Küchel in 1744-56). Its unusual situation reflects the fact that it served both the Bürgerstadt and the episcopal town on their different sides of the river.
