The tower was built in 1445 as a turret to secure the Ulm Gate and demolished in 1806 at the request of the French. Until then, it was the tallest tower in the fortifications. Very romantic ruin.

The Luginsland served as a gun turret from 1445 and secured the Ulm Gate and its apron. At Napoleon's request, this highest tower of the Memmingen city fortifications was demolished in 1806. Only the foundation walls remained.
