Stadtturm tower In the center of the city stands majestically the Stadtturm tower (originally called Bruggerturm or Baderturm). It is a gate tower that was built in the mid-15th century and served as the northern gate of the city. Together with the supplier's castle, it is the only fully preserved part of the city's medieval fortifications. With its impressive appearance, the 56.45 meter high tower is a landmark of the city.
