Pulverturm, or Powder Tower, forms part of the historic fortifications surrounding Rothenburg ob der Tauber’s old town. Its name reflects its former association with gunpowder storage, a reminder that the celebrated walls were built as working defenses rather than decoration. The compact masonry tower, adjoining ramparts, steep red-tiled roofs, and surrounding greenery create a layered view of the town’s fortified character, with weathered stone and timber-framed buildings providing contrasting textures.
