Today's town hall façade is a magnificent work of the German late Renaissance by the Trier sculptor R.H. Hoffmann (built in 1608). Hoffmann's patron was the then Archbishop Lothar von Metternich (1599 - 1623), whose coat of arms and the Electoral Cross adorn the town hall bay next to the Bernkastel city coat of arms. The bay window carries a stone figure of Salvator mundi, the Redeemer of the World with the globe, on the Baroque curved roof.
