    One of the well-preserved towers of the city wall.

      Steinheim (did) - The Dilgesturm in Steinheim has recently been adorned with a green information board, which points to its historical importance as "part of Groß-Steinheim's city fortifications". The Lower Monument Authority Hanau installed it on the initiative of the Steinheim local advisory board.

      The Dilgestturm is part of the historic city fortifications, which were built in 1320 as a result of the granting of city rights. The city wall encloses today's old town of Steinheim (once called Obersteinheim or later Groß-Steinheim), which was laid out on a basalt ridge that reached close to the banks of the Main. The town developed around today's Steinheim Castle. The city wall and its towers were built from local basaltic lava and are largely preserved today.
