The Bayenturm was probably one of the last two towers that ended the city wall ring after 1217 and was first mentioned in 1250. On June 8, 1262, the dominion of the archbishop was finally broken with the conquest of the tower by the Cologne citizens. Cologne wisdom says: Whoever had the tower had power.
