Built before 1270 as the southwest corner pillar of Wasenvorstadt. Naming by the Windfahrer in the form of a swordtail, which clarifies the jurisdiction.

According to tradition, Hans Müller, known as von Bulgenbach, was also held prisoner in this tower after his peasant revolts, condemned and executed by the sword.

Did you know that the last execution took place in the Schwertli Tower in 1806? It's no longer open to the public today, as its interior houses a transformer station.
