The citizens' tower from the early 14th century was not only used for defence, but also housed a debtor's prison for defaulting debtors on the second floor.
But rioters and drunks were once also arrested here.

In Meisenheim, parts of the old city wall including the former defensive towers and one of three city gates (see: Untertor) are still preserved today.

The defense towers on the Glan are all surrounded and hardly recognizable as such, because they were included in the apartments. But you can walk along the city walls that connect them, with a view of the adjacent river.

The town charter for Meisenheim in 1315

With the granting of city rights by Emperor Ludwig the Bavarian in 1315, Georg I (Count of Veldenz) received the necessary funds to renew or strengthen the fortifications of his former settlement.

In addition to certain advantages that went along with the granting of city rights (privileges, privileges, freedoms, etc.), Meisenheim also took on the obligation to give the rural population in the vicinity, including their mobile belongings and their cattle, refuge within its new walls in the event of war
