In the 14th century the city was surrounded by a curtain wall with three gates: the lower or Bamberg gate, the upper or Kronacher gate (both still preserved) and the Mühl or Coburg gate. Of the five defense towers, only the Red Tower remains today. A large part of the city wall, which was renewed several times in the 17th century, was demolished in the 19th century, mainly during the construction of the railway in 1844/45.
