      The Powder Tower in Vaihingen an der Enz is a well-preserved corner tower of the former city fortifications. Its name says it all, so it was originally used as a powder magazine. The tower is very massive with walls up to three meters thick. The tower was built in 1492. Later used as a prison, wash house, slaughterhouse and shelter for the homeless. Since its renovation in 1992, it has been accessible to the public on guided tours.
