The Wasserburger Rathaus was built between 1457 and 1459 to replace the original building from 1252 – which was itself rebuilt in 1339 following the devastating town fire. The structure of the impressive late gothic building was suited to the town council activities of the time. Right up until the 1970´s. the bakers of the town all brought their bread to be sold in the bread house (today a café). The entrance hall of the town hall building used to be the corn exchange. The small auditorium on the first floor, with its murals, unchanged since they were painted in 1564, was where the local council of the time held their meetings. County council meetings were also held there, Wasserburg being the county town of Bavaria until 1806. The large auditorium as seen today was used for large celebrations such as weddings, dances and other festivals. The room was burnt out in a fire in 1874 and was fitted out in its current form between 1902 and 1904. The halls can be viewed by appointment with official guides.
