Town Hall Tower Town Hall Tower Clockwork of the Billy Goats In September 2002, during the restoration of the town hall, the reconstructed roof of the bell tower was also reinstalled. The gilded sphere, which contains documents relating to the town's history, has a diameter of 400 millimeters. The weather vane is covered in double-ducat gold, and the tower also features a tower lantern.[2] Town Hall Clock In 2003, master clockmaker Peter Schnabel from Klinga near Grimma installed a radio-controlled clockwork on the town hall clock, which is connected to the town hall bell. Since March 13, 2003, the town hall bell has rung every half and full hour, and during the day, the Billy Goats also appear below the town hall clock.[1][5] Clockwork of the Billy Goats Between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m., every hour on the hour, the billy goats below the clock on the town hall tower appear on the side facing the market square and butt their heads together. This historic clockwork existed before the town fire of 1716 and was not put back into operation until 286 years later, on May 25, 2002, at noon. The two billy goats were presented to the town as a gift by the market pharmacist Dr. Adelberger in 2002 on the occasion of the 300th anniversary of the founding of the market pharmacy.

Modernizations (1996–2003) In 1996, the rear half-timbered extension of the town hall, the "Old Post Office," was extensively reconstructed. An intermediate structure was demolished, and a staircase was built to connect the two parts of the building. The interior was gutted and modern office space was created. The construction work cost €828,000 and was completed in 1999.[1] Starting in 2001, the main building was renovated, including work on the basement vaults, supporting ceilings, walls, and the roof structure. A glass elevator suitable for disabled people was also installed. The roof structure was largely preserved, although some beams dating from 1718 were heavily infested with wood pests. The tower lantern was also replaced, the weather vane was covered with double-ducat gold, and a radio-controlled clock, which was connected to the town hall bell, was installed. The historic clockwork with clashing billy goats was also installed. The idea of building a council tavern in the basement of the town hall could not be realized due to structural reasons. The basement was subsequently used as an archive. The construction work cost approximately €2.5 million and was completed on October 31, 2003. Structural changes and renovations since the reconstruction have not had a significant impact on the overall external appearance.[2][1] Source: https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=historisches+rathaus+bad+d%C3%BCben

Dispute over Town Hall Inscription (1862) In 1862, Düben's representatives argued over which inscription should adorn the new town hall. Some wanted to keep everything as it was, others would have preferred the inscription "Polizeiamt" (Police Office), and wine connoisseurs favored the inscription "Ratskeller" (Town Hall Cellar). For cost reasons, black was chosen instead of gold for the inscription. On October 14, 1862, the majority of representatives voted for the inscription "Ratskeller" (Town Hall Cellar). The mayor nevertheless insisted on the name "Polizeiamt" (Police Office) and threatened to refer the matter to the royal government for a decision if necessary. The representatives then adjourned the matter, and it wasn't until January 1863 that the magistrate and city council reached an agreement. The inscription "Ratskeller" (Ratskeller) was placed outside the town hall, and inside, above the office door in question, the inscription "Polizeiamt" (Police Office). Today, the inscription "Rathaus" (Town Hall) adorns the building.[4] Source https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=historical+rathaus+bad+d%C3%BCben
