The front of the market, designed as a front, shows two avant-corps, which are crowned by triangular gables decorated with pinnacles. At the northeast corner facing Mittelstrasse, there is a four-storey polygonal corner tower.<br /> <br /> During the witch hunts from 1554 to 1661, 47 cases of witchcraft and sorcery are documented in Horn.

In 1864, large parts of the city were destroyed in a fire, about 60 houses burnt down including the town hall.<br /> <br /> The stately neo-Gothic Rathaus (town hall) was built in 1865/1866 by the architect Wilhelm Lakemeier from Steinheim after the previous building had been destroyed by fire two years earlier. The front of the market, designed as a front, shows two avant-corps, which are crowned by triangular gables decorated with pinnacles. At the northeast corner facing Mittelstrasse, there is a four-storey polygonal corner tower.<br /> <br /> During the witch hunts from 1554 to 1661, 47 cases of witchcraft and sorcery are documented in Horn. At least 24 people were executed in the centre of the market.</div> Martin M.
