Tourist-information, Councillors' Tavern. <

The Councillors' Tavern was built in 1446. It was reserved only for the Councillors. The ground floor - today the Tourist-Information Office, was originally an open hallway in which the important Scales of Justice were housed. The clock was installed in 1683. The number above shows the day of the month, the one below shows the hour and minute. "The Meistertrunk" scene was added in 1910 depicting the legendary act in 1631, when at General Tilly's command, ex-Mayor Nusch drank almost three quarters of a gallon of wine (3-1/4 l) at one draught thereby saving the town from destruction. **

(Mechanical figures of the General and the Mayor in the windows to the left and right of the clock reenact the scene on the hour.)
