Tips

May 28, 2017

Hiking

Sieberstorturm, named after the craft of flour sifters, was raised in just one year (1385). On both sides facing the paved road, the building accommodates in each case an elaborate clock. On the south side are the years 1778 & 1981 (or 1781 & 1978) to read.

Together with the Kobolzeller gate and a half-timbered house on "Plönlein" (lat. "Planum": ebener Platz), it forms one of the most well-known postcard motifs of the city.

Who wants to shoot such a picture, should head north from the marketplace to the ensemble.

In addition to the half-timbered building on the Plönlein, the Sieberstorturm is sometimes almost submerged - it used to delimit the city in the south before the hospital district was surrounded by a city wall.

A really beautiful city center that you can get to through the Rödertor. Many small restaurants, souvenir shops and great viewing platforms. From the gate, you can walk along the city wall (above) and walk around the city center.
