The Hausmannsturm dates from the 17th century, was initially smaller and then increased more and more (today 47 m).
After the tower was raised, the main guard was housed here. The former tower apartment is still clearly visible. The house man and night watchman monitored the city from here because of frequent fires and had to blow the alarm in case of danger and to wake up residents, magistrates, the spraying master and the chimney sweep. Another task of the house man was to announce the time by calling the hour.
In 1931, a severe storm hit the city and severely damaged the tower. Repair work began in 1935. Until 1935 the building was used as a syringe house. During the Second World War, the tower was guarded.

Brick building, built around 1200 as a parish church, only chapel since 1386. In the 16th century it was a place of worship. The tower was later used as a watchtower

The Hauptmannsturm is directly adjacent to the Georgenkapelle. After the chapel was abandoned as a lithographic object in the 16th century, the tower was raised in Gothic style and used as the main guard until 1910
