The small town of Bergen, which now belongs to the city of Frankfurt, has the traffic route of the traders to thank for its economic position. During the first half of the 14th Century a law hall and market hall were built here. Finally in the 16th Century the function of these places was changed by the town hall. A solid half-timbered construction with a 5-sided renaissance oriole was put in place in the massive gothic ground hall between 1520-30. The baroque roof with its weather vanes originates from 1704. Above the westerly gates there is a Fratzenstein, a late gothic head. A Heimatmuseum (Regional Museum) has been open to visitors since 1959.Advt.: New Year Cruise Sale – Save Up To 75% on all lines and destinations!
