    The Kinzigtorturm probably had the most significant task in Gengenbach's history. In addition to city defense, it served to secure the Kinzig bridge and maintain trade sovereignty.
    When a raft subject to tolls approached on the Kinzig, the tower warden blew his brass horn. It is no coincidence that the Kinzigtorturm is the largest and strongest of Gengenbach's three towers.
    Up to the weather vane, it is about 40 m high, 6.5×6.5m square, and integrated into the city wall.
