The round tower, usually referred to as the powder tower, is the only remaining tower of Demmin's city fortifications. This included 10 towers with a round and 17 with a rectangular base. It is located on Turmstrasse south of the Luisentor in Demmin. It is not known where the term "powder tower" came from; that the tower could have been used to store gunpowder is considered unlikely.
