Münster - Rathaus bei Nacht - a photo on Flickriver

            The photo shows the decorated facade from Baumberger sandstone in the style of the Gothic juts out with a height from 31 m high above the real roof of the city hall.

Fabio Chigi, papal peace mediator during the negotiations to the Westphalian peace, wrote about them: „The gable of the splendid city hall juts out above the other roofs and touches apparently almost the sky“.

By the valuable and splendid decorations, as they were to be found, otherwise, only in ecclesiastical buildings on account of the high costs, should be possibly raised in addition to the situation of the city hall the self-confidence and the claim to power of the citizens towards her bishop.
The construction of such a costly facade has been possible only in a time of economic blossom and originated therefore approximate by the end of 14th century when the city of Münster found out a strong economic impetus by the membership in the Hanse. Furthermore helpfully the continuity would be allowed in the office of mayor with Johann Kerckerinck (26-paint between 1371 and 1399) as well as Johann Warendorp (31-paint between 1379 and 1418) during this time have been.

The construction of the facade is made up of three levels: Arcade floor, main floor and gable floor.
In addition, they can be split in two groups: The arcade consisting of the arcade floor and the show gable consisting of main floor and gable floor.
Each of these levels was changed in the course of the time by destructions, repair and restorations several times. While the meanings of the decorations at lower both levels are nearly cleared, several exist for the picture programme of the show gable on height of the gable floor, partly contradictory theories.
