The Gallerturm also served the imperial city as a powder depot. — When the construction of the fortifications on the Gallerhöhe began in 1587, Überlingen was likely under time pressure, as even the girls and boys were recruited to weave the fortifications. In 1534, the women's monastery of St. Gallus was relocated from the Gallerberg to the Fischerhäuservorstadt. It had to make way for the expanded fortifications. This monastery has been documented since 1300, when its inhabitants adopted the Franciscan rule. The sisters of the Galler monastery secured their existence by operating a girls' school. The Gallerturm and Gallerschanze were largely spared enemy action during the Swedish siege of 1634, as the fighting was concentrated in the east and north of the city. However, the tower provided the backdrop for the unforgettable Überlingen Swedish Games, marking the 300th anniversary of that siege in 1934. The Society of Art Lovers of Überlingen now has its home in the Gallerturm.

The current Franciscan Gate, dating from 1494, was not built for military purposes; at that time, an outer ring of fortifications existed for this purpose. It is an inland gate and served more as a purely representative gate, or rather, as an entry and exit gate for Überlingen's main trade route. This connected Greth and the lakeside landing stage with the fertile hinterland, where the grain traded at the Überlingen market was grown.
