The history of the Geithainer "Powder Tower" The Powder Tower is the remainder of the former Freihof from the 12th century. It was also part of the city wall that surrounded the entire city. The wall, which originally only surrounded the Nikolaikirche, was extended to form the city wall when the place was granted market justice around 1186 and thus obtained city rights.
