Where can you find the QR codes? Very easy! They are attached to various places in the town hall, including right next to the wing door to the council hall, at the elevator or next to the information display in the entrance area. The house letter box is also equipped with a code! In the town hall park, a QR code leads to the so-called blood wall and even the QR-Cobble in front of the town hall, which leads to historical views of the building, now refers to the hearing stations.
