One of several surviving towers. The wooden construction towards the city is made of wood - probably so that no violence could be exercised against the city in the event of a conquest.

The Seilerturm from the 15th century in Weil der Stadt, is a historic tower located in the old town and a significant landmark with a rich history. The Seilerturm served for many years as a prison. Like the other towers of the Renninger Vorstadt, it is a shell tower, whose masonry is open on the side facing the city. This construction was intended to prevent the tower from being used as a fortress against the city, should it fall into enemy hands.
