<< Owl Tower >> "Remains of the listed city fortifications, built after 1357, are still preserved on the Holzbach dam. The "Untertorturm," later renamed the "Owl Tower," is an approximately 27-meter-high round tower, a typical medieval defense tower. It also served as a dungeon. Today, a fire brigade museum is located there. With remnants of the city wall, it testifies to the medieval importance of the settlement, which was granted city rights by Charles IV in 1357." https://www.tourenplaner-rheinland-pfalz.de/de/punkt/historische-staette/eulenturm/56629324/
