Pulverturm, Medieval watchtower in Straubing, Germany
The Pulverturm stands as a round brick tower with a conical roof at the northwestern corner of Straubing's medieval fortification system.
Originally constructed in the late 15th century, the tower served as an arsenal for the Landwehr military forces during the 19th century.
Since 1963, the tower functions as a memorial site displaying Karl Reidel's bronze sculpture group dedicated to victims of both World Wars.
The tower structure is located near Am Kinseherberg 24, allowing visitors to explore the medieval defensive architecture of Straubing.
The tower's historical transformation from a military powder storage to a museum in 1845 initiated the collection that became the Gäubodenmuseum.
