With its enormous height of 47 meters, the scrap tower is one of the most striking medieval defense towers in the city. However, the tower was originally much lower. It did not get its current height until 1825, when a Tangermünde merchant set up a shot foundry in the tower. For this purpose, liquid lead was dropped from a great height into a vat of water. The pellets produced in this way were given the perfect spherical shape using this method
