Old Town of Breisach am Rhein

Highlight • Historical Site

The hill on which Breisach is situated—the Münsterberg—was located in the Rhine until Johann Gottfried Tulla's correction of the Rhine during floods. In ancient times, it was the seat of a Celtic prince. Later, the Romans built a fortress here, and the Hohenstaufen dynasty founded Breisach in its present form in 1158.

Hagenbach Tower

The Hagenbachturm was formerly called Windbruch Gate. It is located almost at the top of the Münsterberg and is another gate on the way to the top of the mountain. It is first mentioned in 1319. This tower formerly served as a prison. The tower was named after the Burgundian governor Hagenbach, who was imprisoned there in 1474.
