The Rhine Tower building is directly adjacent to the Customs House and the Chapel of the Holy Trinity. The mighty Rhine Tower also served as a customs tower. Customs duties were collected and administered there and in the adjacent Customs House.

It is a defiant defensive structure and also a habitat for many rare animal and plant species. The ravages of time had eroded the more than six-meter-high city fortifications, so that the parapet above the former battlement, in particular, was no longer stable. To reconcile monument protection and nature conservation, compromises were necessary during the repair. For ecological reasons, the parapet could not be replaced in three places despite their lack of strength. Steel safety nets and the injection of binding agents now provide the necessary safety.

Beautiful old town center. A walking path along the city wall and quaint alleyways in the city center. It's best to set off early if the weather is nice. The parking lot at the Rhine Gate quickly fills up around midday, and the outdoor seating areas of the restaurants and cafés are packed by 1 p.m.
