The lower part of the theft tower is the oldest building in the city. Originally it was probably the keep of an earlier moated castle, later a defense tower and watchtower in front of the city. The 34 meter high building not only had a military function, but also served as a prison in the lower part. The theft tower was provisionally rebuilt after the war was destroyed in 1945 and made accessible again in 1990/91.

The market fountain on the market square with the two market women, Dorle and Paula, dates from 1945 and was created by the artist Fritz Melis.
