The thick tower belongs to the former city fortifications of the city of Bergzabern. During the siege, the city wall was mostly shot at with stone bullets. A stone ball weighing 20 kg can be seen on the "Thick Tower".

The Dicke Turm was part of the city wall of Bad Bergzabern. It was built in the late 13th century and expanded in the 16th century. At that time, it was also surrounded by a moat, which is why a lane is called "auf dem Damm" (on the dam).
P.S.: The Storchenturm is located at Neugasse 30.
