History
According to some sources, it was mentioned as early as 1416. This is contradicted by the fact that the first documentary reference to a 'ropemakers' corner' (Saler Eck) dates back to 1562, and the first specific reference to a bastion (Söller Postay) dates back to 1613. It had to be rebuilt after fires in 1641 and 1689. It reinforced the southern defensive wall of the town. After its restoration, the bastion was used as a warehouse. In 1794, the ropemakers' guild built a guildhall inside the bastion. In 1894, it was sold to the manufacturer Karl Ganzert, who demolished the guildhall and built his high-rise apartment building, which still stands today. He dismantled most of the bastion, leaving only a low foundation which served as a fence, on which he opened a gate from the moat.
