    Metzgerturm
    Together with the Landauer Tor, this is the last remnant of the medieval fortification with once 15 towers. Is being renovated together with a piece of city wall. (As of 2019)

        The 'Tour des Bouchers' - Butcher's Tower is one of the 15 towers that were built at the end of the 13th century as part of a fortress wall. The tower is called the "Butcher's Tower" because the butcher's guild was responsible for it. When the fortress was demolished in 1706, the Butcher's Tower remained with a few other towers. The tower was used as a prison until the middle of the 18th century.
        In 2017-2020, the exterior of the Butcher's Tower was restored.
