It is a defiant defensive structure and, at the same time, a habitat for many rare animal and plant species. The ravages of time had eroded the more than six-meter-high city fortifications, so that the parapet above the former battlement, in particular, was no longer stable. To reconcile monument protection and nature conservation, compromises were necessary during the repair. For ecological reasons, the parapet could not be replaced in three places despite their lack of strength. Steel safety nets and the injection of binding agents now provide the necessary safety.
