    The Stumpfer Turm - Langen 🚴‍♂️

    At the beginning of the 14th century, Langen was fortified. This resulted in the construction of the eastern wall, as well as the two circular structures, the Spitzer Turm and Stumpfer Turm.

    The Stumpfer Turm originally also had a roof. However, this was demolished during the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648) to use the material to repair the roof of the then town hall.

    Originally, there was no gate at this location. It was only in the 19th century that a simple opening with a wooden lintel was created. Around 1907, the pointed-arched "Weihertürmchen" (little pond tower) was added, its sandstone surrounds presumably originating from the portal of St. James' Church, which was demolished in 1878. 🚴‍♂️
