MARSCHTORZWINGER:

The last of what were once five round towers at the corners of the former city wall. The adjacent Marschtor gate was demolished in the 19th century. It was fully restored between 1984 and 1986 using city funds. Since then, it has served as a venue for exhibitions and cultural events. A visit is highly recommended 👍🏼.

The March Gate Kennel was built in the 16th century and is the only one of five defense towers that have survived. The round tower has a diameter of about ten meters and in some places its walls are up to 1.90 meters thick.

In addition to the Marschtorzwinger, which still stands today, there was also a gate with Gothic elements until 1851. The pointed arch provided access to the city. It was once an important part of the city's fortifications, consisting of the city wall, the city moat called the Viver, a total of three city gates, and five such round defensive towers with two rows of loopholes. Today, the two-story brick building is used for exhibitions and cultural events.
