The Schlosser Tower is located on the ‘Schlosserbuck’ and on the central Taubertorplatz square on the River Tauber. It served as the town messenger tower for a long time and has a half-timbered structure. If it was captured by the enemy in the Middle Ages, the tower could be attacked from the nearby town gate. (known militarily as the ‘blow-out tower’). This made it possible to chase out or ‘blow out’ the enemy inside the tower with projectiles. Today, the Schlosser Tower, like the Faulturm, has the beautiful function of a holiday cottage that can be rented and offers a wide view over the town. If you turn your gaze towards the main street, the town wall ran roughly between the tower (Schlosserturm) on your right and the half-timbered house with the wrought-iron balcony diagonally opposite the savings bank.
The construction of a poorhouse - the ‘Dreher-Stift’ - next to the Schlosser Tower in 1824 is significant in the town's history, but unfortunately it no longer stands today.
If you walk about 100 metres further into Neue Straße, you will discover the second town tower - the ‘Faulturm’.
