    The Obertorturm is a landmark of the city and appears in the city's coat of arms. The Hohenfeld Chapel is equipped with numerous furnishings from different centuries. Today they serve together as a city and tower museum.

      The town and tower museum is located in the chapel.

      Opening times are: April-October, Sundays and public holidays, 2-6 p.m.

      ------

      The entrance to the town from the east was the Upper Gate (built around 1392). Even though there was no large complex here like the Lower Gate, this gate was nevertheless well secured. In the pointed arched passage you can still see the remains of the portcullis and the recesses for securing with strong beams.

      Inside the tower you can see massive wooden ceilings and an unusual barrel vault. In 1630 the tower was given its current appearance with a half-timbered floor, a steep hipped roof and a bell tower.
