    The small, single-story round tower on the corner of the western city wall and the castle gate fortifications was built at the beginning of the 15th century. It is called Burgeck or Schneiderstürmle.

    The small, round tower was probably built in the course of the construction of the castle gate - the name "corner tower" in this case is not due to the shape of the building, but to its location or function as a security of the corner situation, due.

    In addition to the tower is one of the few in the city fortification Rothenburgs integrated building, which was secured with massive pillars.

    A nearby billboard reports on the escape of "Dr. Karlstadt" (theologian Andreas Bodenstein from Karlstadt), who sought protection in Rothenburg after a quarrel with his student Martin Luther.
