The town hall was built between 1539 and 1542 and for a long time also served as a cloth, grain and department store. It was given its current appearance between 1898 and 1900, when the market hall was closed and the oriel windows and paintings were added. The history paintings are by the history painter Carl von Häberlin from Stuttgart, the coats of arms and figures by Christian Schmidt from Zurich. The Gothic Great Council Hall contains, among other things, the famous collection of coats of arms from 1542 and a collection of weapons from the 15th to 18th centuries. The Small Council Chamber, which was decorated with gilded paneling in the rococo style in 1766, has been used by the City Council since 1542.

The town hall building and the collections are currently not open to the public.
