The Old Town Hall in Schifferstadt is among the most beautiful and interesting half-timbered town halls in the Palatinate and, with its semi-open, stone ground floor hall and the discreetly decorated half-timbering on the upper floors, is an excellent example of a representative town hall from the 16th century. At the time of its construction, between the late Middle Ages and the early modern period, the life of the population in Schifferstadt was particularly influenced by the destruction of the Limburg Monastery, which possessed privileges in the municipal constitution and large landholdings in Schifferstadt, the Peasants' War, the plundering by Margrave Albrecht, and the Reformation. Originally, the Old Town Hall was a court building with an "open" courtroom on the ground floor, meaning there was an open door arch on each side, while the remaining arches were closed up to window height. On the upper floor were the deliberation rooms, where officials such as the Faut, Schultheiß, Schöffen, Büttel, and others conducted their business. A rarity at the town hall is the pillory and the "Betzekammer" (punishment cell) on the north side below the staircase. Both point to the former function as a place of jurisdiction. The village court could decide on minor field damage, quarrels, brawls, and similar matters and punish the guilty in the Betzekammer. This is closed by a small, late Gothic-shaped door with a hatch, through which relatives could pass food to the prisoners. If no one remembered, the prisoner had to starve. The Old Town Hall was declared a protected cultural asset by the United Nations by decree of August 19, 1988, and is listed on the monument list of the Directorate-General for Cultural Heritage.

The food here is run at kindergarten level, and paying guests are treated merely as annoying supplicants. Despite the inflated prices, the selection and quality of the food are well below average. But this isn't really a problem, because most of the time there's nothing edible anyway. Depending on the mood, the kitchen is only open until 6, 7, or 8 on certain days (although the website states that the kitchen is open until 9:00 p.m.), and increasingly, not at all. Thus, stupid excuses are usually the only thing you'll reliably get served there. Even at low occupancy, the staff is unable to keep track of everything. Even if only half the tables are occupied, the always unfriendly group already seems extremely overwhelmed. You should also avoid addressing the so-called "service staff" or otherwise drawing attention to yourself. This is considered a personal attack and, as such, will be reported to the enemy customer relatively quickly, i.e. After about 15 minutes of intense sulking. Factual criticism or mere questions are also perceived as an insult, which is why they are always met with rude and rude reactions, hours of discussion, and ultimately, total refusal. Most attempts at communication, however, remain in vain. These gentlemen actually ignore them with a routine otherwise only seen among hardware store employees. Conclusion: The crew is clearly neither willing nor able to provide the offered service even remotely professionally and is therefore completely out of place in the hospitality industry.

There is delicious ice cream here - it is certainly very well known. In any case, it is a nice place to sit and relax. Cake, coffee and other drinks are also available.
