Old Town Hall, Bamberg

@Japanalia: It was a long sleep that Bavaria slept in the 20th century and that preserved it from architectural abberations of the industrialization. If Bamberg was a city in the Rhine-Ruhr area, things would have developed completely different.

@Ted: Yes, it is! My favourite part is this awesome balcony.

@Ana Lúcia: Actually it's _the_ standard view of this building, but I know that people who don't know this building would like it. :o)

@António Pires: I think that would be possible. :-)

@Batkoï: And all this in a still existing medieval setting! Indeed a wonderful place.

@MARIANA: Thanks a lot, Mariana!

@eva: Thanks very much, eva!

@Michael: They love their buildings, that's for sure! :-)

@JoeB: Would be nice to know if this building has a cellar...

@Mirjam: Thanks, Mirjam! This shot wasn't terribly difficult, as there is a bridge next to the town hall where you can take photos like this very easily. :-)

@Evelyne Dubos: Something for everybody: from Gothic to Baroque. :-)

@Laurent: Definitely! I think the timber frame in the foreground is the Gothic part.

@akarui: Thanks heaps, Olivier!

@Twelvebit: Especially when the city is flooded! :-)

@Ronnie 2¢: Pretty often! Only the Rhine-Main-Danbue Canal changed that for the better.

@Laurie: We'll have some closer looks later. :-)
