Rumorknecht Tower

Rumorknecht Tower

Rumorknechtsturm

The name of the “Rumorknechtsturm” is derived from its former inhabitant, the “Rumorknecht”, who was responsible for peace and order in Sommerhausen. At this tower, the town wall again turns to the east towards the “Ochsenfurter Tor”. On the walking tour along the wall, there are several smaller towers to be seen that used to serve as watch towers and were partly overbuilt in the course of time. They are still inhabited.
