    The tower from the 13th and 15th centuries belongs to the Kurmainzisches Schloss, built around 1250, on the Schlossplatz. The eastern outbuildings of the palace from the 15th/16th Century are part of the former moated castle, of which 3 turrets are still standing. The tower tower (symbol of the city) has a total height of approx. 35 m, whereby the 28 m up to the summit is also the circumference. Inside there are 119 steps up to the tower room. The tower can be climbed as part of a guided tour and offers a wonderful view of the Tauber Valley and the town's incorporations.

    A fountain with a toad forms the end of the castle courtyard in front of the mill canal. Here you can also see the remains of the city fortifications with part of the city wall and the hunger tower. Two cast-iron border pillars are reminiscent of modern times, one with the coat of arms of the Grand Duchy, the other with that of the Republic of Baden.

      Today's Tauberbischofsheim Castle has its origins in a town castle from the 13th century. The castle took up the southernmost point on the city wall and was in a strategically good location near the confluence of the Brembach and the Tauber River. Today it is part of the grown city and is located almost directly in the center. The complex was originally probably triangular and had a moat towards the city that was leveled (today's Schlossplatz). All that remains of the town castle from the 13th century is the keep, known as the Türmersturm, which, with its impressive height of 28m, served well to monitor the surrounding area. There is a museum in the castle.

        We were greeted on our tour today with the Olympic flag hoisted.
