The tower was built in 1444 and in 1614 the 2nd and 3rd floors were added. The inscription MH1614HH (Matthes Hertzog, Heinrich Hellerstein, Baumeister) on the lintel of the south-west loophole. In the floor of the first floor is a rectangular opening that leads to a dungeon. At the beginning of the 17th century, this served as a bridging prison for prisoners (including a number of women accused of being "witches"), who were subsequently brought to the Bamberg criminal justice system.
