Council chamber building

Council chamber building

1570 1571

General view


Together with the former chancellery, the Ratsstuben building served the

central and local administration of the Hochstift. With the decision in

in favor of asymmetry and with the type of a stepped gable house

the building is strongly oriented towards the Middle Ages. The staircase and

the two-storey bay window, which are both positioned to the right of the façade axis

to the right of the façade axis disturb the tranquillity of the composition. Also a confusion

of the stepped gable with an Italian volute gable should also be avoided

gable, as the stepped gable type refers to something different

than the volutes flanking the upper part of a church façade in

of Italy. In the spirit of late Gothic, the bay window rests on a bundle of ribs

of ribs that spring from behind the statue of the master builder and stonemason

Erasmus Braun. Compare this with the 1512 organ base by Anton

Pilgram's organ base at St. Stephen's in Vienna. Like Adam Kraft

in Nuremberg, the master holds the pommel in his right hand and supports the

left hand he supports the coat of arms with his master's mark.
