The Lorenken Tower secured the inflow of the Dülmen city stream, called the Tiberbach, into the city moats.
For a long time, the Lorenken Tower served as a city prison. From 1923, the Lorenken Tower served as a transformer station for supplying the city center with electrical energy.
In 1945, the Lorenken Tower was badly damaged. There are still remains of the city wall on both sides of the tower.
