zum Alten Rathaus:

Das 1556/57 von Hieronymus Lotter errichtete Rathaus gehört zu den bedeutendsten Beispielen des neuen Renaissance-Stils in Deutschland. Bis zum Bau des Neuen Rathauses 1905 war das Alte Rathaus der Sitz der Stadtverwaltung von Leipzig. Nach einer grundlgenden Renovierung zog hier 1909 das Stadtgeschichtliche Museum ein, wo es sich bis heute befindet.
