Renaissance- Rathaus Saalfeld

Das altehrwürdige Rathaus, 1529-37 errichtet, gilt als Frühwerk sächsisch-thüringischer Renaissance-Baukunst. Links neben dem Kielbogenportal kann man die Saalfelder Elle, einen 56,6 cm langen Eisenstab, entdecken.
Das Saalfelder Wappen mit den beiden Fischen über dem Verkündigungsbalkon trägt die Jahreszeit 1534. Die Wappentafeln am reich geschmückten Erker erinnern an Kurfürst Johann Friedrich den Großmütigen von Sachsen und seine Gemahlin Sibylle von Cleve.

Der merkwürdige Rundbau (1857) gleich hinter dem Rathaus, im Volksmund "Hutschachtel" genannt, der heute das Stadtarchiv beherbergt, diente bis zur Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts als Amtsgefängnis.
