The city wall was secured by bastions. These are systems that protrude from the line of a fortress wall. In the course of the city wall there were several bastions, you could always see from one to the next. In this way, the space immediately in front of the wall, which the defenders could not see from the parapet, could be observed from the side and possibly reached with weapons.lustauflueneburg.de/stadtwall/#gsc.tab=0

At the northernmost tip of the "Ilmenau Island", where the Ilmenau and Lösegraben flow together again, there was once a bastion.
Today there is a small park with a playground at this point.lustauflueneburg.de/stadtwall/#gsc.tab=0translated by•August 31, 2021
