Scheibling at the ship's gate
The Scheibling at the Schiffertor , usually simply called Scheibling , was a turret in the Zwingermauer of medieval Munich .
location
The Scheibling was in the south of the Viktualienmarkt a little north of the point where Reichenbachstrasse now joins Frauenstrasse. It was in front of the fishing tower of the second city wall . The Schiffertor , after which the tower is named, was about 100 m west of the Scheibling, so that it could be defended from here.
history
In 1478 "zwain schaiblingen thurn, bej den Yser- and Schifertorn" were first mentioned in a document, i.e. two Scheibling towers, one at the Isartor and one at the Schiffertor. The adjective "schaiblingen" refers to the round shape of the tower. Scheibling is not a proper name, but a type designation and means round tower. While the Scheibling at the Isartor, which was in front of the Lueg in the country , was later called " Prinzessturm ", there is no known proper name for the Scheibling at the Schiffertor, i.e. on today's Viktualienmarkt. In 1534 and 1563 it is also simply called "the round thurn at the Schifertor".
In the literature, the year 1467 is often mentioned as the year of construction, but this is not proven by any source. Its construction in connection with the erection of the Zwingermauer in the second half of the 15th century is quite likely.
The use of the tower as a prison is documented around 1786, and later it was used to store grain.
In 1870 the Scheibling was demolished for the expansion of the Viktualienmarkt.
