The 3.4 km long and 6 m high city wall was built starting in 105 AD and featured a parapet walk or earthworks on its inner side. The top of the wall was crowned with battlements, and a double ditch ran along three sides of the fortifications, while only a simple V-shaped ditch existed on the harbor side. Nevertheless, the wall was primarily intended to demonstrate Roman power. The fortifications had a total of 22 towers and three impressive main gates with double passageways on the main roads: the North Gate (also known as the Burginatum Gate), the Maastor Gate, and the Vetera Gate. Since there was no main gate on the Rhine side, some of the towers, such as the Harbor Gate, the Molentor Gate, and the Small Harbor Gate, had simple passageways. Today, the eastern corner of the Roman city wall near the amphitheater, the North Gate, and the nine towers between the North Gate and the main entrance to the city center have been partially reconstructed. To create a continuous facade, the remaining spaces between the towers are planted with hedges. The city wall is to be gradually reconstructed and sections of it are now open to the public. The North Gate, also known as the Burginatium Gate, was the main northern gate leading towards the Roman fort of Burginatium (in Altkalkar). It was reconstructed to its full height. Like the other two main gates, it had a double passageway, was flanked by gate towers, and consisted of three stories. The gate is now open to the public and houses the exhibition "Death & Burial." The harbor of Roman Xanten was located at the Harbor Gate (or East Gate). This gate had a single passageway and is now open to the public. In front of the Molen Gate, which also had a single passageway, the Rhine harbor mole was located in Roman times. However, the Rhine silted up around 300 BC, necessitating the construction of a new mole further north. The gate tower is now open to the public and serves as the entrance to the Harbor Temple park.

The Lower Rhine Bridge is an interesting and impressive structure

The district of Rheinberg with its old fortifications and ferry landing.

The tower is very dominant. I think it spoils the cityscape.

The Herb Tower Just about 50 meters from the bitter liqueur manufacturer's factory buildings, a 56-meter-high warehouse was built in 1955/56 under Emil Underberg (1904-1958), a grandson of the company founder, as a barrel storage facility to expand the company's headquarters. The tower has a five-meter-deep cellar, which in turn rests on a three-meter-thick foundation. A special feature of the structure is a tunnel that once connected the tower warehouse to former Underberg factory buildings west of Kamper Straße. Whether the name "Herb Tower" already existed at the time of its construction is unclear – but what is certain is that the name derives from the various herbs from a total of 43 countries on which the traditionally secret recipe for the spirit is based. The abandoned old Herb Tower in Rheinberg is now to be converted into a residential and commercial building.
