. The inner city wall and its gates and towers ...
.. Smiley wants to show in Part 1 of the post over the fixing of our former free city of Mulhouse and briefly describe ...
A specific year, the city wall was built not yet be determined. During the period some attaches to 1170, then the time around 1210 was assumed to be likely.
was obviously the city wall was built but the settlement at St.Kiliani, in the lower city and also in St.Jakobi and New Town at St. Mary's preceded it.
The assumed "via triumphalis" the New Town - the plan probably, but not entirely for execution came, but then was derStadtmauer by building fell.
Let's start our tour at the 2,700 meter long inner city wall that still exists today on inner Frauentor. The gate leading to the Church of Our Lady "- St. Mary's church - and was originally a multi-storey high tower, which burned in 1649 and was renewed in 1654-55 in its current form. The outer gate was built in 1552 according to Altenburg and 1830 aborted.
The watercolor shows the state about 1840.
most romantic reveals the inner city wall at Hirschgraben .. which is still called by the meisst Mühlhäuser as High trench. This is still the high wall and moat before derMauer available that surrounded earlier almost the whole inner city wall. The deer had ditch the city in the 17th Century deer park established. Between
Frauentor and Pfortentor past had 5 city wall towers.

The tower on the rainy street was taken in 1688 on the tower stumps were then "pleasure house" of the applied Property owners in derHolzstraße that can be seen today as the city wall.
The tower in the dead end in a shot from the twenties. As here most of the city wall towers were on the city side open. The individual floors were reached by ladders.
is here it is a type of the first construction period, when the front yet finished with the wall. Only later were semicircular or rectangular towers, like the Hospital Tower or the raven tower.
From St. Peter's Church to Pfortentor sufficient by the gates of St. Peter and pond, which - were used for fish farming and - - like the castle pond like this one - in the 19 Century were drained.
The Pfortentor was stopped as the last gate of the inner city wall in 1891. It was probably in the 13th Century emerged as a narrow gate and was in the 18th donkey Century through a new door replaced.
Even the front gate, which led only in the direction of creating Torstraße was replaced in 1720 by a new gate in the direction Ammer road, but already the 18th. canceled.
The upper floors of the towers used to house the first gatekeeper and tax collectors, but often as a residence for city employees.
started collapsing the Kanzleibote Nicol in 1622, who lived in Pfortentor, drunk from the steep stairs ".. And fell to death .." as the Chronicle reported.
Between Pfortentor and the gate were two towers, which disappeared during the eruption of Hoyer Lane and Bollstedt alley. The castle gate was originally a gate that led to the former imperial castle and was rebuilt only in 1612 to the gate.
Even the outer gate in the picture was built in 1612, but in 1801 again interrupted. Then in 1825 was also the inner gate broken off and had a wide passage to the place and the Castle Street created
The demolition of historic sites in Mühlhausen tradition. Managed to destroy the citizens of the City at that time Reichsburg in 1256 so thoroughly that only the name reminded her of the castle site. 1851 then acquired the brewer Weymar the site, here built his brewery and the still existing "art ruins," so that at least still somewhat reminiscent of the former royal palace.
Available also the section of the city wall, the citizens had errichteten.Auch in 1250 between the city and the castle tower in the Broad Street inhabited earlier, but was canceled 1899th Now here is the passage to the Castle Gallery, a popular shopping center on the castle grounds, but with the also the last chance of a study of the former castle site was lost. 
Gone is the so-called 1867 Powder Tower, standing at the end of Captain Lane. The breakthrough of the captain of the cross road ditch in 1875 was later described as Alexandertor because he was inspired by the city council Alexander Graeger war.Zwischen the castle gate and the Görmartor was formerly the moat and cross the moat, which were later filled. In this section of the city wall were 6 City wall towers, one of which is now only the tower at Toll Cross ditch there.
The powerful Toll tower on the cross ditch was once used as a prison and also often been here, "secures .. great people .. and nonsensical," according to Altenburg The tower was far removed from the narrowly built streets, so that the screams were not heard of the insane. were probably here in the 17th Century, the "witch" jailed, which have been questioned before the most secure death sentence only once embarrassing. The "Witches alley" behind the walls is therefore likely to have their names.
In the photo about a hundred years, but then prevailed here before the high Leimsiederhäuser, which ranged over the suburbs.
The Görmartor was described by the old castle as the oldest of the inner city gates. It was renewed 1597th From here the road was important to the later Wagenstedter Unstrut ford and bridge, led by the old country roads in the north and northeast. The inner gate was broken off 1850th
The Görmartor was described by the old castle as the oldest of the inner city gates. It was renewed 1597th From here the road was important to the later Wagenstedter Unstrut ford and bridge, led by the old country roads in the north and northeast. The inner gate was broken off 1850th The average gate was broken off 1822nd Here diverted before the bridge over the mill race from the road to Klingentor through which you came directly to Görmar.
Altenburg points to around 1824 other 5 walls between the towers and the Erfurt Görmartor gate of which were broken off but two in 1790 and 1799. The other towers There is here no longer, as is the gap that gave the Kilian ditch its name. The goal Erfurt is one of the first city gates, but was first mentioned in documents in 1290. The average gate was built in 1592 and stopped as the inner gate 1841st From here the important roads in the south and southeast.
between the gate and the Erfurt Neupfortentor lay at the bottom Lindenbühl two towers.
between the gate and the Erfurt Neupfortentor lay at the bottom Lindenbühl two towers. The new gate was probably after the donkey gate, but probably in the 13th Century, created in 1527 and 1573 turned into a Neupfortentor extended.
From the inner gate a bridge over the ditch to the middle gate Watercress. Both goals but were stopped in 1827 and only the customs house on the Lindenbühl stood for a while.
Also on Lindenbühl there was a wall and a deep ditch outside the city walls. Between Neupfortentor and Felchtaer gate there used 8 towers, which included the still existing five-sided tower. grew in the moat outside the city walls flowed a small stream on whose banks the much-appreciated watercress. Today's Watercress Road reminds us of that time.
The Lindenbühl takes its name from the lords of the Bühl Bodenstein, in the southwest of the Middle Ages a fortified gate Felchtaer Feudalhof - had - a Bühl. Such was Feudalhofe the royal ministeriales that time both in and outside the city, which here had both a monitoring as well as a protective function.
The Wall on Lindenbühl was later planted with lime trees and the 19th Century were also the plants, which today is surrounded by almost the whole city.
The Felchtaer Gate was originally the gate to the road in the Bailiwick and to Eisenach, the led to the Spielberg and Felchta. Only at the beginning of the 19th Century we went from here on the road to Wanfrieder Eschwege. 1837, the goal then was already suspended and one year later, also the middle gate. This was in 1413 and 1598 erstnals mentioned a "couple welsch" rebuilt.
On ball Leich 1878 the old attachment between the High and Felchtaer trench gate removed, creating a passage to Jakobistraße. Of the six towers between the gate and the Felchtaer Frauentor there are now no more. The so-called exploration chairs that were located near the city gates, are except the one between Raven and Frauntor tower disappeared. On the former tower on the corner of High Pits ball corpse.
The city wall itself but was placed through the centuries, ever repaired. Although very end of the 19th Century had to yield some pieces of other buildings.
became so in 1879 at the end of the road choice, the former tower, the tower stump recently as syringe house was demolished and a breakthrough in the Wall created a connection to the High trench Bastmarkt. The impasse was here earlier than called "silver corner , a counterpart to the "Golden corner" near the women's door.
The city wall had become transparent, but still shows some parts of the former fortification of the former free imperial city and are now listed.
On inner Frauentor , wounser tour began at the city wall, he also ends.
Everywhere there have been changes. The city gates that once served to protect (.. and customs revenues, ..) of the city were stopped in the 19th century as annoying obstacles one by one.
played this is in the infamous door locked a role, because the gates at sunset closed and only opened again at dawn.
Holy Mother escaped demolition only through the adjacent part of additional gates, which had soft but some of the old houses near the gate.
Well ..., Smiley, on the one hand, the disappearance of gates and towers regrets of the city wall through which our city could now be considered the Rotenburg of Hungary .... .. but the Fortchritt made particularly in the past, such thoughts do not stop ...
.. therefore it is even more to maintain the existing further and thus to preserve for posterity ..
