The Kinzig Gate Tower is the largest and strongest of all towers and had the most important role in the city's defense. The battlements led to this tower from both sides. The city was guarded day and night from the watchman's apartment. The watchman's job was to impose a municipal toll on the approaching rafts on the Kinzig and on the traders arriving over the bridge.

In the 11th/12th century, the Zähringers built a castle on this site to protect the Kinzig Valley. In the 15th century, the castle was expanded to include defense towers. At the end of the 17th century, the castle was destroyed twice. In the 18th century, the current castle was built in the English style on the ruins of the old castle. Today, there is a youth hostel and a wine-producing farm here.

A court linden tree was a single, very old tree near the town. This was where the Thing, a council meeting, was held, where justice was also dispensed.

Gengenbach is a former free imperial city in the Kinzig valley. Historical buildings, fountains, towers and gates, narrow, romantic alleys and the wonderful market square invite visitors. The origins of the city go back to Roman times. The monastery was founded around 725, and the city was founded from there in 1230. Even then, the city was planned in its current appearance, with walls, towers and gates. In 1360, Gengenbach was elevated to the status of an imperial city and was therefore subject only to the emperor.

The towers and gates invite you into the historic old town from afar and narrow alleys lead you into picturesque nooks and crannies. The "stone knight" on the market square fountain welcomes us upright. It testifies to the pride and self-confidence of the former Free Imperial City, as does the imposing 200-year-old town hall, which is transformed into the world's largest Advent calendar house in winter and, with its countless romantic half-timbered buildings, dominates the cityscape.

The Kinzig Gate Tower probably had the most important task in Gengenbach's history. In addition to defending the town, it served to secure the Kinzig Bridge and to protect trade sovereignty. When a raft that was subject to customs approached on the Kinzig, the tower guard blew his brass horn. It is no coincidence that the Kinzig Gate Tower is the largest and strongest of Gengenbach's three towers. It is around 40 m high up to the weather vane and 6.5 x 6.5 m square and is integrated into the town wall. Source: https://buergergarde-gengenbach.de/die-geschichte-des-kinzigorturm/

<< Defense History Museum in the Kinzigtor >> "The military history museum of the Gengenbach Citizens' Guard is located in the Kinzigtor tower, the former main entrance to the city. Wall walkways led to the tower from both sides and the watchman's apartment was manned day and night. The apartment belonged to the watchman, whose task it was to watch over the city day and night guarding arriving merchants with city customs, as well as the fire station and calling out the hour. In 1991 renovations started, the portcullis was reinstalled and the tower has since been turned into a museum and open to the public. The museum tells interesting facts about the history and function of the Kinzigtor Tower and also about the past of the Gengenbach militia. Props such as rifles, bandoliers and swords are on display. Even a tower keeper's apartment, true to the original, has been prepared and shows the life of the tower keeper." https://www.schwarzwald-geniessen.de/de/museen/Wehrgeschichtliches+Museum+im+Kinzigtor

If you follow the course of the city wall from the Kinzig side, you can see that it led directly to the Kinzigtor tower. It is the largest and strongest of all towers and had the most important role in city defense. The battlements led to this tower from both sides. The city was guarded day and night from the tower dwelling. The watchman's task was to levy a municipal toll on the approaching rafts on the Kinzig and on the merchants arriving across the bridge, because Gengenbach, as a free imperial city, had trading sovereignty. Another important task was the fire watch and calling out the hour. All occurrences were reported with a brass horn, which the city still owns. The Kinzigtor tower was the main entrance to the city. During the renovation that began in 1991, the portcullis was reinstalled and the tower turned into a museum. Here you can learn a lot about the history and function of the Kinzigtor Tower. The past of the Gengenbach militia is also documented. In addition, various props such as rifles, bandoliers and swords are on display, and on the top floor you can visit a tower watchman's apartment that has been faithfully reproduced.

Very well-preserved castle ruins with a fantastic view. The Geroldsecker Qualitätsweg also leads past this castle. The castle is even advertised with a brown sign on the A5 and is accordingly well attended.
