He almost lost his life a hundred years ago. Because at that time the street passage was created by simply chopping a hole in the city wall. Fortunately, a tiny majority in the city council prevented the tower from being removed at the same time. This building, freshly restored and newly covered, is particularly impressive and important as the cornerstone of the city wall. Six meters thick, twelve meters high. A column in the picturesque wall with the historic battlement.

The origins of the city wall and towers date back to the 14th century. With the granting of city rights, construction of the 850m long city wall began. The tower and parts of the wall were restored in the 1960s.
