In 1396 the construction of the city wall was started; in 1424 the work was completed. The city wall with the 5 gates (church gate, cattle gate, Koblenz gate, Joseft gate and Rhine gate) is to a considerable extent still preserved today. The most prominent part of the city wall is the "Scharfe Turm" on the Rhine. Once it served as a lookout and customs tower, later it was a prison and torture chamber.
