context_page_description: The town hall in Freiburg im Breisgau is spread over a total of 16 locations. The three most important buildings are the Old Town Hall and the New Town Hall in the city center as well as the Technical Town Hall in the Stühlinger district. The oldest town hall in Freiburg is part of the building complex of the Old Town Hall. It is located in the inner courtyard and is now called Gerichtslaube and is directly connected to the Old Town Hall. A passage from the New Town Hall to the Old Town Hall spans the Turmstraße between the two buildings. The three town halls form a complex, in which the three individual buildings are registered as monuments in the list of monuments of the country.
context_section_description: The Gerichtslaube ("court house") is the oldest town hall in Freiburg. It is first documented in 1328 as a council building, but only since the 16th century identified as Gerichtslaube.
  The Gerichtslaube was destroyed in the air raid on Freiburg (Operation Tigerfish) of 1944 almost to the foundations, it remained only parts of the access staircase and the west wall, the annex which contained the archives, including the establishment of 1553 remained almost intact. From 1961, the reconstruction was run by the Kuratorium Gerichtslaube, a civic initiative and in March 1975, the reconstruction could be started according to the plans of the architect Gregor Schroeder. After the topping out ceremony in December 1975, it was solemnly inaugurated in June 1979.
  Another special feature is also here: on August 24, 1498 King Maximilian I had issued at the Freiburg Reichstag a wine Reinheitsgebot (Purity Law), which is older than the well-known purity law for beer from April 23, 1516.
