Tips

The two-story, circular defense tower with the two-tiered brick conical roof is a defensive structure whose monumental mass protected the southwest corner of the city walls. Its angular predecessor was built in 1310, but was demolished in 1532. The Reckturm was then built between 1548 and 1562. It got its popular name as the "court tower" during the time of the witch trials: women accused of witchcraft were found guilty and sentenced here. In 1937 the tower burned down and the roof and wooden floors collapsed. Rebuilt between 1957 and 1960, the tower was completely rebuilt in 2021. Since then it has been used as a cultural center for events.
