Water reservoir above Ortenberg Castle. If I remember correctly, almost 50,000 liters of water are stored here, which can be used in case of a fire in the castle.

Even from afar, the towers and gates invite you into the historic old town, and narrow alleys lead you into picturesque nooks and crannies. The "stone knight" greets us upright on the market square fountain. It bears witness to the pride and self-confidence of the former Free Imperial City.
