The Steingassenturm once protected the Steingasse and Langgasse with two gates. As a shell tower, it has only three massive walls and is open towards the city – a cost-effective, but less stable construction. Plaster remnants are still visible today: originally, all city towers were plastered white with painted grey joints to demonstrate wealth and power. The tower can be climbed; from the observation plateau, you have an overview of the city wall and the medieval street network.
