The Old Munich City Hall was the former Munich City Hall of 1874 and is located on the east side of Maria Square in the center of Munich and is now used by city council representatives. The building was first documented in 1310 and the famous hall (Groer Saal) was built in 1392-1394. In 1470-1480, the old town hall was redesigned as post-Gothic. The facade was changed during the Renaissance, and it was rebuilt as a new Gothic in 1861-1864. In 1874, the municipal institutions moved to the new town hall on the same square. On November 9, 1938, Joseph Goebbels delivered a speech in the hall to unveil the night of crystal. The building was badly damaged during World War II, and its spire was not reconstructed until 1971-1974 years ago.
