Tips
In the 1820s, red dyeing became established in the region. The merchant Johann Jakob Täschler from St. Gallen had a yarn and red dye factory built on the Lower Burgweiher in the following years. In the course of this, the 25 meter high wooden tower tower was erected in 1828. It was used to dry the freshly dyed textiles.
