The town hall was built as a residential building in 1586/87. Only a few years later, it was sold to the city of Grünberg, which set up its town hall there in 1593.

Grünberg Market Square

Highlight • Historical Site

The Grünberg market square, which is also called the “gud Stubb” of Grünberg, is not short on beautiful half-timbered houses. The market fountain is also worth seeing.

...we took advantage of our day off together this afternoon in glorious spring weather for a lovely ride:
First, we went via Grünberg to Mücke. Then we cycled through the Seenbach Valley until just before Freienseen. Then we continued downhill through the forest to Laubach. As a reward, we had a snack at the Greek restaurant by the old train …

Now a classic. A route I ride every year.

This year, the route to the center of Hesse was slightly altered. This year with the gravel bike over cycle paths/dirt roads and forest paths, instead of with the road bike over streets.
Those who prefer it faster should look at the route from 2024 and 2025 in my profile...
