It was built in 1422 under Prince-Bishop Johann II von Heideck as one of two entrances and exits to the city. The tower is 26 meters high and has five stories and seven levels. From 1763 to 1939, a watchman (= watchman), who often doubled as the city bandmaster, occupied the tower. A thorough renovation began in 1974. In 1997, the local history society established the craftsmen's workshops here.
