Metzgerturm, Medieval tower in Ulm, Germany
The Metzgerturm stands 36 meters tall with a noticeable 2.05-meter lean toward the northwest side near the Danube River.
Built around 1349 as part of the city fortification, the Metzgerturm served as a protective structure connected to the municipal butcher house.
Local stories tell of butchers imprisoned in the tower for selling underweight meat products during times of economic hardship.
The tower received concrete foundations in 1911 to prevent further tilting, which currently measures 3.3 degrees from vertical position.
The roof features tiles collected from various historical buildings throughout Ulm, creating a mosaic of architectural elements.
