Hiking
The Angermünde city wall was first mentioned in a document in 1292. A building inscription on the southern city wall states that the wall was fundamentally renewed in 1600.
The original height was about 7 m, the width about 1 m. 4 city gates, the Berliner Tor in the southwest, the Schwedter Tor in the east, the smaller Seetor in the north and the Prenzlauer Tor in the west, connected the city with the surrounding area. 36 small fortification towers, the Wiekhäuser, served to defend and protect the wall. Of the larger defense towers, only the Powder Tower has survived.
