On Philosophenweg in Witzenhausen is the Thieves' Tower, built in 1413 and part of the former city fortifications.
In addition to the 4 gate towers, there were 8 other towers along the double wall ring, of which the Thieves' and Owls' Towers were the strongest; they served as prisoner's towers.

The approx. 20 meter high owl tower made of sandstone blocks is part of the former city fortifications in the south-western area of the city wall. Like the thief's tower, the owl's tower also has a dungeon in the basement. Originally there were eight towers and four gate towers. The Owl Tower is not open to the public.
