Pulverturm, Medieval defensive tower in Rottweil, Germany.
The Pulverturm rises above the city with thick stone walls, round structure, and strategic position within the historical fortification system of Rottweil.
Built during the late 15th century, this tower stored gunpowder for military purposes and later became a facility for the Pyrotechnic Corporation in the 1800s.
The tower stands as a representation of medieval military engineering, demonstrating construction methods and defensive strategies of German fortified towns.
Visitors can reach the observation platform at the top of the tower during regular opening hours to view the surrounding landscape of Rottweil.
The tower maintains its original structural elements, including specialized storage chambers designed to minimize the risk of explosive material combustion.
