The eastern row of towers on the town wall of Beilngries begins with the Bürgerturm. The Bürgerturm was also known as the "Tower of Civic Punishment" because it served as a detention center for Beilngries citizens.

The so-called "unhoused", i.e. servants and strangers, were admitted to the Amtshaus (also called Fronfest) at the soul nuns' tower.
