Goldbergsee, a 145-hectare reservoir, was originally created as a flood control basin. Today, it is one of the most popular recreational areas in Coburg. The lake was created at the end of 2010.

The idyllic surroundings offer beautiful views of the majestic Callenberg Castle, which overlooks the lake, and the Glender Wiesen bird sanctuary.

The Spenglersbrunnen (Spengler Fountain) stands on the southeast side of Coburg's market square at the corner of Ketschengasse. The fountain was built as a wooden structure in 1550 in front of the property of citizen Spengler. Since 1621, it has been a stone fountain, which was rebuilt in 1673. The Spenglersbrunnen drew its water from the Pilgramsroth stream, and from 1670 onward, it was piped via the Rückertbrunnen (Reckert Fountain). Today, it is fed by the water mains. Renovations were carried out in 1980 and 2005. The octagonal box fountain has a fountain head formed as a baluster with a pearl bar and a leaf wreath. A spout is present on the front. The basin wall is decorated with, among other things, a relief depicting a lion and a Moor's head. On the column stands a stone lion holding two shields depicting the city's coat of arms, a lion and a Moor's head.

Above the dance hall on the first floor, there was a hall just as large. Its beamed ceiling still rests on three twisted wooden pillars. It was the pride of the citizens and was considered the city's representative party room. The walls were still decorated with the portraits of all previous mayors. The weddings of rich citizens were celebrated here and all kinds of "dance festivities" and "feasts" were held. The princes also gladly accepted the city's invitations to these celebrations.

The oldest information about a town hall in the city of Coburg comes from the last decade of the 14th century. A town hall in the churchyard is mentioned in 1405 and 1407, a "new town hall" on the market in 1414. A town hall used to symbolize the political and economic independence of the city from its sovereign. The people of Coburg fought for this independence in the 14th century. As early as 1324, the city had the right to collect taxes, and in 1331 expanded town rights followed. Therefore, authorities were needed that could enforce these rights and freedoms. A council with six members was first mentioned in 1343. These councils elected a mayor by 1351 at the latest. The first town hall next to the Morizkirche is also likely to have been built during this time. The current town hall was set up in 1414 on the newly built market. It had a high and steep roof with a roof bay window on which a clock was attached. Source:https://www.coburg.de/
