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.
