The Hausmannsturm dates from the 12th century and measures 32 metres. It is to be regarded as the keep of the burgrave's castle and clearly towers over all other buildings. A brick-set, stepless spiral path leads upstairs. The former tower apartment is spatially comprehensible. The tower was originally surrounded by a mantle wall. Inside the base of the tower, a dungeon that can only be accessed from above through an opening in the floor gives an impressive impression of harsh medieval practices. In the Middle Ages, similar basements were used not only as castle dungeons but also as storerooms.
