    You think there must be a knight coming around the corner. It's hard to believe, but for almost three centuries, traffic in the city squeezed through the bottleneck of the Lower Tower.

    Lower tower, built in 1580 by Eitel Friedrich IV.Graf von Hohenzoller, is the only preserved city gate. Through this bottleneck there was a lot of traffic for a long time. Today still very worth seeing
