    In the east of the city is the Dessau gate tower, which was built in 1608. With a wall thickness of 1.65 m and a side length of 8 m, it is the strongest of the three remaining gate towers. Interesting on its north side is the machicolation (possibly it was also a "toilet"). This tower is also known as the rattle stork tower because a stork family raises its young here every year.

    Location and name
    The gate tower is located in the northeast of the old town of Aken (Elbe) on Dessauer Straße. A little further east the street becomes Dessauer Chaussee. The connection to the city on the Mulde gave the name to the city gate and the streets.
