The Rathaus was built by the City Architect Elias Holl between 1615 and 1620 and is considered the most important secular Renaissance structure north of the Alps - expressing the self-assurance of the then Free Imperial City of Augsburg. The façade was rebuilt after the building was severely damaged in 1944 in an air raid, followed by the interior in 1962. 

In 1985, on the occasion of Augsburg's 2000-year jubilee, restoration was completed of the 100-foot-long Golden Hall, with its imposing portals, murals and 55-foot-high, gold-leaf coffered ceilings and murals.
