The city moat with deer in the future Seilergraben and the Hirschengraben on the mountain side above it in the middle of the 18th century

The Seilergraben follows the course of the former city ​​wall from the 13th century between Kronentor and Niederdorftor. In 1780 the old moat was leveled. The valley-side area along the city wall was henceforth used by the ropemakers as a work place, while the mountain-side part above the opposite wall of the ditch, the Hirschengraben , was converted into an avenue for strollers .
