The Butcher Tower in Ulm is a city gate of the medieval city fortification on the Danube that is still preserved today. The square brick tower with pointed arch gates was built around 1340 as the outlet of the Stauf town fortifications to the town butcher in front, the town's slaughterhouse. The upper floor with cantilevered arch is completed by a steep hipped roof.

According to a legend, the tower was named after Ulmer butchers, who were locked up in the tower because they stretched sausage with sawdust.
