In the Südliche Mauerstraße you come across the remains of the Schwabach city wall.
The city wall was probably built in 1365 over a period of 50 years. It was made of hewn stone, was almost seven meters high and had a covered parapet and portcullis at the river crossings. There were a total of four culverts in the Schwabach town wall. The Hördlertor, the Mönchstor, the Nürnberger Tor and the Zöllnertor. The moat was in front of the wall until the 18th century. This was leveled in 1744 and built over with gardens. The city walls, however, lasted until the second half of the 19th century. In 1872 the magistrate commissioned the demolition of the city walls. Another breakthrough came in 1873 with the “Neutor”. The mighty Nuremberg Gate fell as the last gate in 1893 and the towers at the Schwabach influence in 1897. (Source: schwabach.de)
