The listed stork tower in Wittenburg, Wallstraße (opposite No. 17/19), dates from the Middle Ages.

The first early medieval castle was destroyed by Henry the Lion in 1150 and replaced by a new massive castle complex. After that, the city developed. In the 13th and 14th centuries, the old town was e.g. In the area of Wallstraße and Alter Wallgraben / Wasserstraße, a fortification with city wall, rampart and moat as well as defense towers and city gates was built.

The four-storey medieval Gothic fortified tower made of bricks in the form of a monastery is a remnant of the city wall, only a few parts of which have been preserved. The Amtsberg Tower, the Hunger Tower and the remains of the wall on Wallstrasse and in the Amtsberg Park are still preserved from the fortifications. The mill gate was demolished in 1850 and the stone gate in 1869. Since storks later nested on the tower, it got its name.
