The Fischer Bacher tower is an Outbound Höhenburg on a narrow rib in the rock Fischerbachtal at today's farm group Fischer Bach tower (Buchholzenhof) in the municipality of tower part Fischer Bach in Ortenaukreis in Baden-Württemberg .
The lords of Fischerbach, who among other things owned the Fischerbach Castle , cannot be clearly proven in connection with the Fischerbach Tower. Rather, the area of today's homestead group belonged to the Lords of Wolfach in the early 12th century . In 1275/77 parts of it went to the lords of Waldstein residing at Waldstein Castle and the lords of Ramstein von Weiler Castle . In 1422 the Lords of Gippichen bought the area from the Lords of Geroldseck . In 1456 a "Vyscherbacher Turn" was mentioned for the first time on the occasion of a sale.
The dimensions of the former small castle area with the foundation suggest a residential tower . Ceramic shards found are dated to the 13th to 15th centuries and fragments of cup and square tiles to the 14th to 15th centuries.
