    The Fangenturm (also Kronenturm) is a former defense tower in Hann. Münden in southern Lower Saxony. The 27.7 meter high tower was part of the medieval city fortifications of Münden and was built as a wall tower in the city wall. As with other dungeon towers, the naming is based on its dungeon used as a prison.
