In the Middle Ages, private grazing was temporarily forbidden. Instead, the city appointed herders for the different types of domestic animals. According to this, the sow keeper was housed in this tower - "nomen est omen" applies here too. The coat of arms of the Eichstätt Prince Bishop Gabriel von Eyb points to the builder of this corner tower.
