    The 42 m high Gothic tower is the last of what used to be 3 gate towers and formed the town entrance and town exit to the west. The tower was first mentioned in a document in 1279, when the wealthy citizens bought the entire city fortifications from the count and were now able to collect customs duties themselves. It also served as a debt tower, i. H. here those citizens had to serve fines who did not pay their debts.

      Nice defense tower of the former city wall.

        The Westerntorturm stands in the west of the historic old town of Wernigerode at the south-west end of Westernstrasse.
