Fünfgratturm, Medieval tower in Augsburg, Germany
The Fünfgratturm stands as a four-sided stone structure with four small watchtowers mounted on corbels at its upper section and a tent roof.
Built in 1454 as part of Augsburg's eastern fortification around Jakobervorstadt, the tower remained isolated after the city wall demolition in 1867.
Local residents refer to the structure as Fünffingerlesturm, reflecting the regional dialect and its five distinctive spires that shape the tower's profile.
The tower features a vaulted ground floor accessible through the main entrance, while upper levels contain historical elements including a wall fresco.
Metal stairs installed in 2008 provide access to upper floors, creating a modern architectural contrast against the late medieval defense tower.
