The Metzgerturm in Ulm is a still preserved city gate of the medieval city fortifications on the Danube. The square brick tower with pointed arch gates was built around 1340 as an outlet from the Hohenstaufen city fortifications to the Stadtmetzig in front of it, the city's slaughterhouse. The upper floor with its cantilevered arch is closed off by a steep hipped roof.
At a height of about 36 m, the butcher's tower is inclined by 2.05 m to the northwest, which corresponds to an inclination of 3.3 ° [2] (for comparison Leaning Tower of Pisa: 3.97 °). The cause is a subsequent subsidence of the swampy subsoil.
According to legend, the inclination of the tower was caused by the corpulent butchers locked up there huddled in a corner for fear of punishment for inferior goods when the angry mayor entered.
