The White Tower, a striking landmark of Biberach, was completed in 1484 after eight years of construction as a late Gothic brick building. With a height of 41 meters and a diameter of 10 meters, it still dominates the cityscape today. The walls, which are up to 2.80 meters thick and taper towards the top, testify to its original function as a defense and watchtower. As a status symbol of the wealthy imperial city of Biberach, the tower received its characteristic white paint job. It formed the end of the medieval city fortifications, which once included 24 small turrets and four city gates. Together with the Gigelturm, it is one of the last remaining towers of the former city fortifications. As part of the "Historical City Tour", you have the opportunity to climb the White Tower every Saturday afternoon and enjoy the incomparable view of the city. Biberach's City Garden was created in 1977 based on designs by the landscape architects Mien Ruys (1904-1999) from Amsterdam and Jo Hagel from Biberach. In summer, the lower level of the garden transforms into a sea of flowers. Among the flowers, shrubs, and a small pond, one can relax on one of the many seating areas. Located slightly higher up and carved into the mountain is the City Garden Rondell, where concerts are held during the summer holidays. The White Tower overlooks the City Garden. Several paths lead up to Gigelberg, past the White Tower and Gigelturm, and over the Hirschgraben.
