The mayor's house is a representative Delitzsch town house that reflects the importance of the mayor's office in the early modern period.

The mayor's house at Breite Straße 18 was built in 1583 by Mayor Johann Burgmann, who gave this building the name "beautiful house" - and rightly so!

It exudes a special elegance that still fascinates today.

The house later became the property of Gregor Hochstedter, a successful merchant and trader who not only did business but also fought for justice.

For years, he waged a fierce battle against the merchants' self-serving interpretation of Leipzig's trade fair privileges - a courageous stand against the powerful of his time.
