OLD SQUARE (ALTER PLATZ)

It is to the old town what the Neuer Platz is to the modern city. It's a pedestrian zone with a park, to which numerous lanes and alleys converge. Alter Platz is lined with Baroque mansions, some dating back to the ^16th century. The Altes Rathaus, the former town hall, built in the ^17th century, features a courtyard decorated with three-storey arcades. The square features a Trinity column (1681).
