    One tower, two names!
    The ferry gate, after which the tower is named, was first mentioned in a document in 1383. It was once part of the medieval city fortifications.


    In 1848, the owner of Haendler & Natermann bought the tower to produce lead shot. In the course of this, the tower was extended from its original height of 26 meters to 40 meters.

    In the tower casting process, lead was melted and poured through a sieve. The drops of lead fell like hailstones into the well, which is why the tower is still called the hail tower today. Hailstone was produced here until the 1980s.
