History
The bastion was built and defended by a guild of goldsmiths between 1450 and 1455. In 1521-1522, the northeastern defences were reinforced by the construction of a second outer wall, so that the Goldsmiths' Bastion could no longer protect the eastern corner. To remedy the situation, the horseshoe-shaped bastion of the tanners was built, protected by the red tanners, and the Goldsmiths' Bastion was also renovated. In the middle of the 17th century, the goldsmiths built another bastion, and in 1646 the eastern bastion was taken over by the Clothmakers' Guild, the fourth largest guild in the town. In 1881, they sold the bastion and its associated zwinger to the salami maker Michael Mutzig. He used the building to dry his sausages, and the bastion took the name Salamiturm (Salami Tower) for a long time.
