    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.

    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.

    with a square plan: extensive remains of the wall (up to 5 m high) and ditch (northern wall, ♁⊙; east wall, ♁⊙), especially on the northern and eastern edge of the town, as well as three wall towers: round on the north-west and south-east corners (Dietrichturm, ♁⊙; Venninger Turm, ♁⊙), in the middle of the east side a square tower (♁⊙)
