Schimmelpfennig Tower

Highlight • Monument

On the Johannispromenade, between the Raven Tower and the Schmalem Heinrich, is the lower part of another watchtower of the Aschersleber city wall. This tower stump, which lost its typical helmet, is the Schimmelpfennig tower. It was built in the middle of the 15th century. A grid fence separates the building from the promenade walkway. Due to its structural condition, the Schimmelpfennig tower is currently not accessible. On the left side of the tower you will see a short remnant of the city wall.

Aschersleben City Wall

Highlight • Monument

One of the most important sights of the city is the medieval city wall. It represents one of the best preserved city walls in Germany. The defense structure can be easily explored on a circular route around the old town along the wall. The city wall is on average eight meters high and around one meter thick. It has a length of about 2.3 kilometers. 15 of the former 51 defense towers have been preserved to this day.

Tower at Marsfeld

Highlight • Monument

On the Augustapromenade near the Bestehornhaus, the "Turm am Marsfeld" stands to the east of the Aschersleber town fortifications. This approximately 26 meter high building with its approximately 1.50 meters thick walls and the stone helmet was built in 1443. The tower has a square plan and a platform with a battlement, which rises almost 20 meters above the ground. Beyond the city wall once extended the field of Mars - a large open area, which u.a. was used for military exercises. Today only a comparatively small part of the former Mars Field is known and known under the name "Herrenbreite". As part of a city tour you can also get to know the inside of the tower on the Campus Martius.
