The Hafendeckelturm (Port Cover Tower) in Isny was built in 1570 to reinforce the city wall. The tower owes its name to its appearance, which is reminiscent of a harbor (Swabian for "pot"). More information is available here: isny.de

The Hafendeckelturm (Port Cover Tower) was built in the mid-16th century to reinforce the city wall. The former defensive tower now stands isolated in the green area that marks the line of the demolished fortifications. The former conical roof was replaced in the 19th century by a walkable flat roof with a crenellated crown. It received its peculiar name from its appearance, which was reminiscent of a harbor (Swabian for "pot") with a lid. Since 2023, the Hafendeckelturm has housed the permanent exhibition "Münzwerkstatt" (Coin Workshop).
