Attendorn - Südsauerlandmuseum

Attendorn, located in the south of the hilly Sauerland region, was an (indirect) member of the Hanseatic League ("Hanse") represented at the great assemblies by the town of Soest. But - since 2012 - it is "Hansestadt Attendorn".

In Hanseatic times this building, erected around 1350, was the city hall of Attendorn with an open ground floor for the merchants. Over the centuries the structure crumbled, but in the 1960s it was decided to renovate and rebuild it. Now it hosts the "Südsauerlandmuseum".
