The Schloßberg has experienced the entire history of the city, it has actually grown around it. The square at its feet in Sackstrasse is framed by the ancient Reinerhof (right), the oldest building in the city, and by the Old Mint (under Maria Theresa, left). As is well known, Father Christmas lives in the clock tower upstairs, and every year he comes down the steeple into town to bring the children their presents.
 
But you only really meet him very rarely.
