In the southwest of the old town, the most striking building of the former city fortifications, the so-called "Wolf Tower", is clearly visible. The tower, which is around 20 metres high and built in a three-quarter round shape up to the height of the former city wall, has two floors. It was built in the middle of the 14th century, when, following the granting of city rights, a city fortification with walls, around 15 towers and gates could be built.

The wolf storm is or was with 20 mtr. the largest tower of the Middle Ages. Fortifications. The term "Wolf's Tower" has nothing to do with the animal, but means the "watcher" or "observer".
