The Rothenburg Tower Gate, built approximately in 1390, exhibits a stepped gable adorned with flat columns. On the second floor of the gate, there are torture chambers and prison cells. The presence of tar holes and the protruding structure with its hipped roof and bays are clear indications of the robustness of Dinkelsbühl’s fortifications.
