  1. International version:

    Today's motif for #WindowFriday is the old #cityhall in #Leipzig. Located on the east side of the #Messestadt market square, it is considered one of the most important secular buildings of the #Renaissance in #Germany with a very interesting (architectural) history. As a special feature, the asymmetrical facade of the town hall is orientated exactly to the #GoldenSection. The pictures show (un)symmetrical sections of the #facade.

    Quote: "Particularly worth seeing inside the building are the large banqueting hall, the council chamber, the late baroque landscape room, the treasury and the only authentic portrait of #JohannSebastianBach (by Elias Gottlob Haussmann), who signed his certificate of appointment as #ThomasKantor in the council chamber in 1723. The #CityModel from 1823 by Johann Christoph Merzdorf should also be emphasised."
