    Landsberg is a really great city with very beautiful old buildings.

    The Schmalzturm, also called the beautiful tower, is a structure of the first city wall (early 14th century) of Landsberg am Lech. Cloverleaf friezes run around the tower as adornment; colorful roof tiles in the colors of the city and a storm bell attachment express the importance of the gate. It was given the nickname "Schmalzturm" because on nice days the market women stood in the shadow of the gate with their goods, including lard. The lard remained firmer and could be sold better.
