The Markus Tower and the Röderbogen are part of the oldest city wall around Rothenburg, which was built before the first extension to today's Rödertor. If you visit Rothenburg in spring, listen and take a good look to see whether the storks have already arrived in the nest on the Markus Tower.

St. Mark's Tower with the Röder Arch was built in the 12th century. It was part of the inner city fortifications. Together with the White Tower to the north, it provided access to the city from the east.

In the year 1172 the city wall was built and it created thereby the Markusturm and Röderbogen. From this time, even the White Tower is preserved.
