The little pagan tower has nothing to do with the heathen, the little tower is a remnant of the medieval city wall, which served as a city fortification. On the land where the Heidentürmchen stands there used to be wet wasteland, the Rhine had almost reached the cathedral before the regulation, the wasteland was formerly called "Heide".
