Hungerturm, Medieval prison tower in Mindelheim, Germany.
The stone tower rises from the fortification walls of Mindelheim with narrow windows and thick walls measuring several meters in width.
During the Middle Ages, the Hungerturm served as a detention facility where prisoners experienced harsh conditions within its cold stone chambers.
The tower represents medieval justice systems in Bavaria, demonstrating how communities managed law enforcement through architectural structures.
Visitors can reach the Hungerturm by following the old town walls from Mindelheim's central square, with guided tours available at specific hours.
The tower contains original metal fixtures and door mechanisms from its period as a functional prison, preserved in their medieval state.
