The city wall of Friedberg in Bavaria is an important historical building that reflects the city's medieval past. Built from 1409 under Duke Ludwig the Bearded of Bavaria-Ingolstadt, it served to protect the city and the adjacent Wittelsbach castle.

The wall was originally made of fired bricks and covered with plaster. It reached an average height of five meters and was equipped with loopholes that were accessible via a wooden, covered battlement. A reconstructed section of this battlement can be viewed north of the Old Water Tower.

Along the city wall there were semicircular shell towers with pent roofs sloping towards the city side. Some of these towers, such as the Old Water Tower, the Gunsmith Tower, the Zwinger Tower and the Torture or Hunger Tower, have been preserved to this day and shape the historic cityscape.

A walk along the city wall offers an impressive view of the old town and the surrounding landscape. The picturesque alleys and the well-preserved fortifications invite you to experience Friedberg's history up close.

Friedberg's city wall is an important example of medieval architecture and a highlight for history buffs and visitors to the region.
