The picture shows several patricians in a medieval council chamber. You can see the powerful men of the council who came together in the town-hall. The books on the big wooden table served for the registration of trade agreements. The patricians emerged from the local nobility and/ or the ministerialis during the 11th century. The council was an important institution in the towns, which they passed on from generation to generation.
