The historic town hall of the city of Osnabrück was built between 1487 and 1512 in the late Gothic style. It is one of the main landmarks and defining buildings of the city of Osnabrück and is still used today as the town hall building. In 1648, the Peace of Westphalia was negotiated and signed by the warring parties of the Thirty Years' War in the town hall of Osnabrück and the town hall of Münster.
On April 15, 2015, the historic town hall was awarded the European Heritage Label by the European Commission as one of the sites of the Peace of Westphalia. (Wikipedia)

Germany? Before the beginning there was Ginnungagap, an empty space of nothingness, filled with pure creative power. (Sort of like the inside of my head.)And it ends with Ragnarok, the twilight of the Gods. In between is much fighting, betrayal and romance. Just as a good Godly story should be.Heroes have their own graveyard called Valhalla. Unfortunately we cannot show you a panorama of it at this time, nor of the lovely Valkyries who are its escort service.Hail Odin, wandering God wielding wisdom and wand! Hail Freya, hail Tyr, hail Thor!Odin made the many lakes and the fish in them. In his traverses across the lands he caused there to be the Mulheim Bridge in Cologne, as did he make the Mercury fountain, Mercury being of his nature.But it is to the mighty Thor that the Hammering Man gives service.Between the time of the Nordic old ones and that of modern Frankfort there may have been a T.Rex or two on the scene. At least some mastodons for sure came through for lunch, then fell into tar pits to become fossils for us to find.And there we must leave you, O my most pure and holy children.Text by Steve Smith.
