From 1830 onwards, the cemetery was located here, so this part of the city remained undeveloped, and the tower was preserved at its original height. The name Reckturm (Stretcher Tower) dates back to its use as a dungeon and place of "painful interrogation" in earlier times, when delinquents were imprisoned here and stretched, stretched, and tormented to force them to confess. In 1660, a female arsonist was executed by the Freimann (Freeman) in the Reckturm.
