Walk · 1 h · Free · Four brick towers of the city wall, including the 28.5-metre Steintorturm and the Mühlentorturm of 1411

What it is
Of Brandenburg's medieval wall, stretches and four brick gate towers remain. The Steintorturm, in the New Town, is 28.5 metres tall; the Mühlentorturm was built in 1411 by a master builder from Stettin; the other two are the Rathenower and the Plauer, in the Old Town. With their loopholes for crossbows and arquebuses, they are a textbook of the vertical defence system of the late Middle Ages.
How it works
On your own, combining them with the walk through the New and Old Towns. There are remains of the wall next to the Rathenower, in the Humboldthain and on the St.-Annen-Promenade.
