    		And if we also respell RATHAUS we might be getting there!

    It's almost always the Town Hall, and in many German towns they are both old and beautiful.

    		Literally, "council house." This is the same "rat" as in "Bundesrat," the "federal council."

    		Not the same as 'council house' in the UK which means a house rented out to tenants bya local authority.
