The Kiekinpott fortification tower was built in 1396 by the citizens of the city in the immediate vicinity of what was then the princely moated castle, in order to demonstrate the city's bourgeois self-confidence to the princely house. According to the name, you should be able to look from the “Kiekinpott” into the castle kitchen into the prince's pot. Despite this provocation, the tower remained, but the city had to pay 900 silver marks as a penalty.

The watchtower was built in 1396 near the then princely moated castle. It should bear the name from the fact that you can look into the princely kitchen.
