The Roman guard post Wp. 14/5 on the eastern slope of the Vorderen Schlossbuck (Burgstallwald) in Gunzenhausen was first established in 1887 by Dr. Eidam excavated. The 5.50 mx 7.40 m tower seems to have been added to the Limes wall later, as the northern corner of the tower overlaps the foundation of the Limes wall.

In order to ensure complete surveillance, the poorly visible location on the eastern slope of the Vorderen Schlossbucks made this tower only 160 m away from Wp. 14/4 necessary.

After a detailed investigation by the Bavarian State Office for Monument Preservation in 1980, the foundations were rebuilt in this unique condition as a floor plan reconstruction. The foundations of a smaller building, which have also been proven, are no longer preserved. The city of Gunzenhausen had the tower floor plan renovated again in 2007 and a new information board erected.
