Information about the archetype
The Beinsteiner gate tower built in the thirteenth century is the only remaining gate tower of the Middle Age city of Waiblingens. At the beginning of the nineteenth century it was almost demolished. It was then called »Säuturm« (Hog Tower) because the farmers pigs would be herded through this door into the pasture. In the last century it was used as the city prison. Today it holds a museum (Museum des Csávolyer) for the German speaking people of Südungarn, which the city of Waiblingens have sponsored.
