Built in 1260 in two phases, the Golden Tower served as a watchtower in the Middle Ages and was therefore expanded in the upper storeys. Since the refurbishment in the 80's he offers apartments for students.

The Golden Tower in Regensburg's Old Town is one of the so-called patrician towers, built by wealthy families in the Middle Ages as status symbols. Constructed around 1260, the Golden Tower was only used to a limited extent as a residential tower in the 18th century. At the time, it was the tallest residential tower north of the Alps and, along with St. Peter's Cathedral and the Stone Bridge, became a landmark of Regensburg.
