Abstract: Today’s appearance of the 16thcentury paintings on the wooden ceiling in the Gerichtslaube of the Lüneburg Town Hall is caused by the extensive conservation treatments of the 19thcentury. In addition to the restoration of roof and ceiling alterations the report deals with the origin and the conservation history of the most valuable and, in Lower Saxony, unique paintings. Prerequisite for the protection of the present condition is finding appropriate treatments. The concept for further treatments is based on a comprehensive condition description and extensive conservation and natural science examinations of the original painting, the overpaintings of 1878-82 and the conservation treatments in 1963-65.
