Hiking

The Marktstraße leads on to the Putinnen. These are two towers, standing about 30 meters apart on the city wall. They protect a small staircase that serves as access to the river. The people of Tangermünde frequently relied on the water of the Tanger. For instance, in the 18th century, the city had only 12 wells, which could sometimes barely supply the necessary drinking water. The eastern tower served as a citizens' jail for a time. The already mentioned staircase leads through the western tower. Both towers were built around 1470.

Hiking

The Putinnen are two towers of the medieval city wall in Tangermünde. From here a staircase leads down to the harbor. The origin of the name is unclear. One possible explanation would be the derivation of "Butentinnen", i.e. external battlements as part of the defenses of the city wall.
