In the past centuries, the tower not only had a protective function, it was also home to the first school in Allersberg, because the tower keepers were simultaneously schoolmasters, musicians, wedding announcers and funeral mourners, sextons and night watchmen. The gate tower was a homeless shelter, a storage place for fire engines, home to the public market scales and was notorious as the "Allersberger Loch", the detention center for "dark characters".

The gate tower was completely renovated in 2016 and is now used again by the market town and the culture and beautification association for receptions, exhibitions and cabaret events. Home of the "Allersberger Torturmkabarett".
