The round tower, usually referred to as the powder tower, is the only remaining tower of the Demmin city fortifications. This included 10 towers with a round and 17 with a rectangular base.

The tower was first mentioned in 1546 as a "gloomy cellar". It was completed in 1570 and 1571. In order to win the bricklayers for the work, which was not considered to be honorable, the city council donated a total of seven barrels of beer. Located next to the executioner's apartment, the tower also served as a prison. Obviously until the middle of the 18th century, because the pastor and chronicler Wilhelm Karl Stolle described it in his History of the City of Demmin, published in 1772, with the words "was used as a prison for offenders, but was walled up a few years ago".

The roof shape of the tower was changed several times. In 1902 he received a wall crown with battlements, which was later replaced by the current tower dome.
