    A part of the outer city wall, built around 1300... even today traffic rushes through here... so be careful

      The tower was built in the 13th century and was originally called "Outer Hasslauer Tor".

      It is a shell tower, which is closed with wooden boarding on the side facing the city.



      The gate was provided with a portcullis and secured the outer ring of fortifications to the Hanau and Mainz areas on the other side of the Kinzig.



      Painted frescoes from the 16th century were found inside the archway - Jesus on the cross with Mary and John. Unfortunately they were painted over in 1995!

        Nice tower in the city wall. Obviously from afar.
