About 25 meters south of the Jewish gate rose the Hoppenturm, a semicircular shell tower in corner position, which might have corresponded in size to the small tower on the tower staircase. The Hoppenturm is also the easternmost tower of the city wall. Here you had a good overview of the Judentor, the mountain down towards Krefeld and into the Gladbachtal.
Immediately next to the Hoppenturm a portal can be seen in the original map of 1812, which allowed direct access to the Catholic cemetery and the Spatzenberg to the Bleich meadows on Gladbach.

The Hoppenturm was part of the medieval city wall. At the beginning of the 19th century, the city gates were demolished, parts of the city wall and towers were torn down or, among other things, reused as walls and parts of houses.
