    The Bettelvogtturm in Dietfurt an der Altmühl, a town in the district of Neumarkt in der Oberpfalz in Bavaria, was built in the mid-15th century. The defense tower at Ringgasse 35 is a protected monument.

    Of what are believed to have originally been ten defensive towers from the former city fortifications, six towers are still preserved today.

    The so-called Beggar Vogt was a kind of city policeman who mainly had to take care of the numerous beggars in the city. He lived in the tower.
