The Haspel or Thieves' Tower is the oldest tower in Vaihingen, built in the 13th century.
With its six floors, it dominates the silhouette of the old town. On the first floor there is still the "Haspel" with which prisoners could be lowered into the dungeon, which is around eight meters below.
The tower can only be visited as part of themed tours.

It is also called "thief's tower" because it served as a dungeon for a long time. The convicts were lowered down 8 meters on a rope - there was no lower entrance at the time.
The tower is the only remnant of the city fortifications on Grabenstrasse.
