Watch the video - it will explain a lot. When the clock strikes the hour (from 9.00 to 23.00), a procession of twelve apostles and other figures begins to move. The apostles, who are recognized by their attributes, appear in the windows of the clock.
In addition to the figures of the apostles on the clock are several symbolic figures. Above is a rooster, which is a symbol of life. Below the rooster is a stone angel. To the left of the dials are figures of a vain man who admires himself in the mirror and is a symbol of human vanity and a figure of a miser who symbolizes vices and greed. To the right of the dials is a figure of a skeleton that rotates an hourglass, a symbol of the dimension of life and the inevitability of fate, and a figure of a Turk, which symbolizes spoiled extravagance. Even lower, on the sides of the calendar disk, are figures (from left to right) of the Philosopher, Archangel Michael, Astronomer and Chronicle.
In general, the town hall occupies several houses, and each differs in its own way.
