Former seat of the Imperial Chamber of Justice
Originally the town hall, dating from the mid-14th century and fundamentally altered a number of times, it became the seat of the highest German court, the Imperial Chamber of Justice of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation, in 1690 and was its registry from 1756 up to its dissolution in 1806. It was here, on May 25, 1772, that Goethe matriculated as an intern at the court.
