The Nuremberg City Hall is located in the old town of Nuremberg, just east of the choir of the Sebalduskirche. As one of the sights of the city, it belongs to the historical mile of Nuremberg. The imposing Renaissance building by the architect Jakob Wolff the Younger was badly damaged during the Second World War and had to be largely rebuilt in the 1950s. The building on the north side was shortened by two window axes. On the south side there is an integrated Gothic hall building, designed by Albrecht Dürer. The perforated prisons in the basement are considered a tourist attraction, as is the beautiful fountain, which is located directly in front of the New Town Hall, designed by Kurt Schneckendorf in 1951 and built from 1954 to 1956. This building replaced the row of houses destroyed during the war between the Old Town Hall and the main market.
