Sack Tower and Sack Gate, Warburg

Highlight • Historical Site

Secured with the Sackturm Sacktor is as the northern city gate of the old town a landmark of Warburg. It was originally a kind of slip through the politically independent old town in the direction of Paderborn, because directly bordered on one side to 1436 independent Neustadt and on the other side of the episcopal castle. The Sacktor was built around 1300. It was not until 1443 the Sackturm added as a community building of the now united Warburg neighborhoods.

View from the Fügeler Cannon

Highlight • Viewpoint

The barrel weighs five tons, the carriage one ton: no tourist in Warburg can get past the Fügeler cannon. The cannon set up on the roundabout today is a replica of the Warburg “Fügeler”. It was one of the largest guns of the late Middle Ages. "The Warburg Fügeler cannon was cast around 1500 by the Warburg gunner Manegold". The steel plaque on the cannon barrel still reminds of Master Manegold. The cannon was a gem that attracted the attention of Prince Bishop Franz von Waldeck. "He confiscated the Fügeler in order to use them against the Anabaptists in Munster". Whether a bullet was ever fired with her is uncertain, however. "In 1540 the cannon came back completely ruined to Warburg, where it was melted down".

Around 440 years later, the Warburger cast a new Fügeler, which was presented at the Kälkenfest 1979/1980. "The initiator was Dr. Albert Kröger, former managing director of the Warburger Heimat- und Verkehrsverein “, remembers his successor. The new pipe was manufactured by Anton Kröger, Christoph Dölle, Eckhardt Kröger and the apprentices from the Stelzer company. Years later, the cannon was then positioned on the roundabout. "But that has nothing to do with militarism, it's all about the Warburg story."

Warburg City Wall Trail

Highlight • Historical Site

The town of Warburg goes back to a castle dominating Diemelfurt at this point. The city wall had a total length of about 3km (4.2km with double walls) and enclosed the lower town and the upper town. The city wall consisted partly of a double wall and had 24 defense towers and 10 city gates. 4-5 watch towers secured the Landwehr. Large parts of the ring wall are still preserved today, some of them in full height, 5 defense towers, 2 city gates, as well as the remains of other towers and gates. The so-called Heinturm near Ossendorf is the only watchtower that has been preserved. In the south-west there was also a castle on the castle hill, of which only the St. Erasmus chapel remains today. This is a new building that stands on the site of the old castle chapel.
