Hiking

Kirrweiler was surrounded by a city wall in the Middle Ages. Of the old city wall, only the remains photographed here are still there, but they were extensively restored with the Dietrichsturm, now called the Venninger Tower.

Hiking

The historic Kirrweiler was not only the summer residence of the prince-bishops of Speyer, but from 1431-1797 also the administrative seat of the prince-bishop's office. The fortress wall surrounded the old town center and was at the same time an indication of the importance of Kirrweiler as the seat of the upper office, because villages were actually not allowed to have fortifications of this kind.
