    The tower was part of the city fortifications and served as a water reservoir for the city fountain.

      Opposite the Hsuptkirche there is another attraction. I also recommend a visit inside.

        The black water tower was first mentioned in 1532. In addition to fortifying the city, the main task of the tower was to supply the city with water.



        At the beginning of the 16th century, there was a water shortage in many of the city's wells. The river water was therefore collected in containers in the tower and from there the city was supplied with water.
