Excerpt from the city of Greifswald's official description of the Fangenturm:
(see also greifswald.de/de/historisches-erbe/denkmal/backsteingotik/fangenturm )

"This building was part of the medieval fortifications that once surrounded Greifswald. The Fangenturm was first mentioned in the city register in 1329 as "Vangentorm." After the structures in the area of the Schützenwall were leveled in the 18th century and the Hansering was built in the 1970s, the 13.50-meter-high tower remained as a remnant. When the building later no longer met its requirements, even as a powder tower, the city leased it to the university in 1775, which, due to its height and location on the outskirts of the city, used the tower as an observatory for a time."
