Tips from the Community
The building you see today was built immediately after its destruction in the 2nd Margraves' War. The citizens rebuilt it in record time: Material. Massive sandstone was used, giving the building its characteristic, sturdy appearance to this day. A late Gothic structure with Renaissance influences was created. Particularly striking is the steep timber-framed gable, which was later plastered over. The town hall was much more than just an office for the mayor back then. The open ground floor (the so-called arcades) used to house the bread and meat benches. Bakers and butchers sold their goods here under the protection of the city council. The city council met on the first floor, and justice was administered. The council bell in the turret announced important verdicts or warned of fire. From early on, there was a "council room" in the town hall where the council members were entertained.

The Nuremberg Gate is the western city gate of Lauf and was part of the medieval city fortifications. It marked the beginning (or end) of the stage on the famous Golden Road in the direction of Nuremberg. The core of the gate dates from the 14th century (approx. 1350), from the time when Emperor Charles IV was also active in Lauf. It is a classic gate tower with a pointed arch passage. The striking half-timbered upper floor and the steep hipped roof give it its typical Franconian appearance.

Well-preserved gatehouse. Built almost 700 years ago, it served as the entrance to the city. Today, it characterizes the beautiful medieval appearance of the old town.

Beautiful view across the Pegnitz River to the weir at the Schleifmühle. The length of the Industrial Museum is particularly well visible from here. Very atmospheric.
