    The so-called "Schwaikheimer gate tower" belonged together with the city wall to the medieval town fortification of Winnenden. Its passage was the main entrance to the old city from the neighbor municipality Schwaikheim ago. The masonry, together with the remains of the city wall, is the oldest preserved building in Winnenden. The half-timbered floors were rebuilt 15 years after the devastating city fire of 1693. The tower houses the Museum of the City with the old prison cell. The top floor houses the so-called Torstuben, which Winnender citizens can rent for celebrations.
