The Stöberleinsturm was built at the same time as the cap tip was fortified. To the south it limits the Sauklinge area. The tower probably owes its name to the legend about the former mayor Stöberlein, who is said to have been walled up here. With its four octagonal bay windows, it is clearly different from the other towers in Rothenburg.

The square gate tower was built in the period from 1375 to 1380. It limits south of the deep terrain incision of Sauklinge and carries the imperial and city arms, but the view of this is increasingly hidden from April by a tree standing in front of it.

The name "Stöberleinsturm" was given to the tower of the legend of the former mayor Stöberlein. This should have been walled up alive because of war treason. Another name would be "Hundsturm" because dogs were used to guard the city ditches.

In the 17th century it served as a log cabin for the accommodation of madmen. Today he forms the access of the tower tour to the covered battlion and holds on the right hand with the Stöberleinsbühne a small outdoor stage below the defense ramparts ready.

The Stöberleinsturm is right next to the small, idyllic amphitheater of the same name and next to the Reichstadthalle.
