Around 1400, Mühlhausen, with approximately 10,000 inhabitants, was not only among the twenty largest cities in Germany but also had a remarkable city fortification, a part of which still exists today. In addition to the inner city wall, which was built around 1200, Mühlhausen also had an outer city fortification erected in the 14th century.
