The street from Ihlingen , leading from west to east, allowed entry through the Lucifer Tower into the old town of Horb, which is enclosed by an almost rectangular city wall.
In the second floor of the tower gate served behind the small window opening towards the upper embrasure the timbered from wooden planks walls Ruebkammer as hexene prison.
