A Historic Place with Strong Symbolism
The Augsburg City Hall is one of the most significant Renaissance buildings north of the Alps and together with the Perlachturm is a landmark of the city. For the Long Night of Democracy, this place provides a special backdrop: representative, central, and close to the city's society.
