Schimmelturm, Niederstetten

Highlight • Monument

The somewhat terrifying fountain next to the tower represents the legend of the “Steidemer Männle”: In the legend, a farmer had to flee from his Rothenburg pursuers. Niederstetten was a free city, so if he got there he would be safe. The pursuers caught him at the city gate and only the upper body of the farmer fell into the free Niederstetten.

Before these cast iron signposts were the wooden signposts.
These were not reliable and were replaced by the cast-iron signposts around 1863 for military reasons.
Most of the cast-iron signposts were made by the royal ironworks in Wasseralfingen and cost around 6 guilders.
After the end of the upper offices around 1936, this type of signpost was no longer used.
