The very impressive Augsburg Town Hall (Rathaus). The Town Hall is the administrative centre of Augsburg and one of the most significant secular buildings of the Renaissance style north of the Alps. It was designed and built by Elias Holl in 1615–1624. Due to its historic and cultural importance, it is protected by the Hague Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict. To me, this classification identifies suitable targets for extremists.
