The Marienturm (also called Marienburg) was a defense tower of the outer city wall of the city of Aachen, which was built between 1300 and 1350. It is one of the few remaining towers of the former city fortifications and is one of the architectural monuments of the city of Aachen
The name Marienturm or Marienburg comes from the day the foundation stone was laid. This took place on August 14, 1512, the day before the Assumption of the Virgin, as evidenced by the inscription on a bluestone
