The Klingentor Bastion in Rothenburg ob der Tauber was built in the 14th century as part of the city's fortifications. It played an important role in the Thirty Years' War and offered protection from attackers. Today it is an impressive historical landmark that visitors can admire from the outside.

The Klingentor, also known as Klingenturm, is one of the medieval gates of the historic city. It was built in the 14th century and served as one of the main entrances to the fortified city walls.

Very nice

The Kobolzeller Tor is a powerful fortification that allowed access to the city from the southwest. The Kobolzeller Tor was built in the middle of the 14th century. The gate was named after the small town of Kobolzell, which was located below the gate in the Taubertal. The defense system consists of the gate tower, a rectangular forecourt with a battlement and a large foregate with a customs house. Anyone who has ever come to Rothenburg from the valley, whether on foot or by bike, can imagine how difficult it used to be for enemies to attack the city at this point.

The Klingentor is the northern entrance to the old town and, together with the fortified church of St. Wolfgang built in the outer defensive ring, forms the Klingentor bastion. The Blade Tower, 37 meters high, was previously integrated into the city's water supply. There was an expansion tank in it into which water was pumped up from the Bronnen mill. This water was used to feed some of the Rothenburg fountains.

@Eleion Nope, there is a climbing room inside/upstairs.

As early as 1204, an expansion of the city became necessary and the citizens began building a new fortification ring, which still exists today. Among other things, the Kobolzeller Tor, the Siebersturm, the Rödertor with the Röderturm and the Würzburger Tor were built. The buildable area increased threefold. The circumference of the defensive wall increased from 1,400 to 2,400 meters. (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rothenburg_ob_der_Tauber)
