    The lower part of the Witches' Tower was built around 1150. The upper section was added in the 14th century.

    Hiking

    As the oldest of three former prison towers, the witches' tower vividly conveys the cruelty of earlier jurisdiction. Before the witch hunts reached Memmingen, it was called the "adulterer's tower". The Memmingen witch trials in the 17th century usually ended with the beheading of the convicted persons. It is not known how many victims the witch hunts in Memmingen actually claimed.

    The Witches Tower served as a prison tower whose base was already from the year 1150. The superstructure was later built in the course of the city expansion in the 14th century. In the lower part you can see tuff stone and in the upper part the brick building.
