    Green Tower, Ravensburg
    Built between 1398 and 1418. Some of the green and yellow glazed bricks date back to the time of construction and were considered very valuable at the time. The tower was used as a prison from the Middle Ages until 1942.

      According to research, the green tower was built in the 15th century and has hardly changed since then. Its name originated - who would have thought it - from its green roof tiles, which for the most part still come from the time it was built.
      The tower belonged to the city wall and thus formed a means of defense and was also used as a prison for a long time.
