The black tower stands in the estuary of the Breitbach. Black spots formed by moisture due to its location and the fact that it is in the shade at sunrise gave the tower its name.
Originally a free-standing tower and the first stone structure in the fortifications, it was raised several times before becoming a corner tower in the new town hall building.
The tower, which can still be walked on today, is used for events and as an archive. At that time it served as a tithe tower and prison.
