Built-in the 13th century, the Röder Tower was initially a shell tower, and its open side facing the city center wasn’t closed until the tower’s defense purposes became obsolete.
With its four corner oriels, the tower’s appearance was originally similar to the one of the “Stöberleinsturm”, but the roof was heavily damaged after being bombed in 1945, and the inside wooden structures burned out completely. The half-timbered upper part was erected after WWII, such that the Röder Tower now looks quite different than the original building.

Photography Tips

I would recommend photographing this tower during the evening blue hour when it is nicely lit. To include the tower completely in your frame, you will have to shoot quite wide.

Travel Information

There are five main parking areas (P1-P5) around the city walls, providing space for roughly 1,000 vehicles and quick access to the old town. In my opinion, the fee of € 5,50 for a day ticket is quite reasonable.
The "Hasa Parkplatz" is the closest one to this spot.
