First of all, for over 100 more Screenshots follow this link.
Last summer I decided to build a Gothic-Romanesque city filled with some iconic Bavarian builds of these styles. The town's market place is dominated by the building I want to present you today. It covers an area of 70,000 blocks², consists of about 1,000,000 blocks - mainly brick, sandstone, quartz and clay - has over 400 fully furnished rooms, about 100 unique statues (armour stands) and most of the work was done in 2 months time.

This town hall is a recreation of the one located in Munich, Bavaria. My aims were to try for as much detail as possible, building the interior as close as possible to the original (at least the most remarkable rooms) and finally constructing according to the original state before World War II. This war caused a huge loss of detail all around the town hall - especially the backside nowadays looks quite bland.

Plan by Georg von Hauberrisser
History:
The New Town Hall in Munich was built between 1867 and 1909 by Georg von Hauberisser at the central market place called "Marienplatz". Since then it became one of the two most famous emblems of Munich (the other one being the Frauenkirche). Sadly, during World War II some parts of it were destroyed and never rebuilt.
Also noteworthy to mention are the famous chimes attached to the main tower, various gothic staircaises and the big and the small hall serving as assembly rooms for the city council (all 3 of those are also realised in this build). Furthermore, there are two small courtyards for the purpose of lighting the interior, the so called "Prunkhof" (ger. Pageantry Courtyard) being a telling name, the "Kassenhof" (ger. ~ Tax Hall) where citizens had to pay their taxes, the small and big brick gothic courtyards decorated by some small towers. Also, note that the ground floor is used for many different shops, and thus isn't included here (in the future, it will be used for various administrative purposes in my not finished city).

Yes, it has the same style, because Hauberisser, the architect of the one in Munich, was heavily inspired by the Brussel's one. The town hall in Brussels is about 400 years older than this one.
Imo descriptions are important, so every viewer gets a chance to know where sth is located / why sth was built.
