History

The old town hall was built on Eugene Square between 1731 and 1734 for the Catholic (German) magistrate, as only Catholics were allowed to live in the town centre at that time (the Orthodox had their own magistrate in the Factory Town). In 1735, the German mayor Peter Solderer was re-elected here in the German town hall. Later, it was given a Renaissance facade. The town hall was in this building until 1949.
