One of two main accesses to the old town. In the possession of the city, formerly dwelling of the night watchman and towers of Mainbernheim. Sometimes, after the last occupants, a family called Weid, also called Weidenturm.

The gate with an eight-sided upper storey and a mansard roof was completed in 1648.
In 1765 the architect Johann David Steingruber added the octagonal top to the tower.
It shows the Margravial-Ansbach style and housed the family of the watchman.
Drawbridge and portcullis were integrated, the "traces" can still be seen today.
When the weather is nice, you have a wonderful view of Mainbernheim and the Franconian countryside from the tower apartment.
