The early 14th-century civic tower once served, in addition to its defensive function, as a debtors' prison on its second floor when a debtor couldn't pay or provide a reliable guarantor. Drunkards, rioters, adulterers, and parents whose children were truant from school also received a short "tower punishment." Until the end of the 17th century, a circular enclosure preceded the tower.

Since 1930, Neu-Wolfstein Castle has been a memorial to those who fell in both world wars

The landmark of the town of Meisenheim am Glan is the Evangelical Castle Church on the Castle Square, one of the most important late Gothic buildings on the left bank of the Rhine. In contrast to many churches on the left bank of the Rhine, the Castle Church has been mercifully protected from major damage for centuries. The Evangelical Castle Church, together with the Herzog-Wolfgang-Haus, is the only remaining part of the former castle in Meisenheim. The cornerstone of the church building was laid in 1479 and construction was completed in 1504. http://www.stadt-meisenheim.de/historie/evangelische-schlosskirche/
