Historisches Rathaus & Friedenssaal

²Ñü²Ô²õ³Ù±ð°ù


Dominating Prinzipalmarkt, ²Ñü²Ô²õ³Ù±ð°ù's city hall played a key role in ending the calamitous Thirty Years' War when an important sub-treaty of the Peace of Westphalia was signed here in 1648. You can visit the place of the signing, the splendidly wood-carved Friedenssaal.
