history
The first people settled in the suburbs around 1300. Despite the existing settlement space within the secure city wall, the patricians of the city wanted a new place for their buildings. So the city decided around 1440 to provide the suburb with its own wall belt. In the course of construction, two new gates and five new towers were erected. The construction work was completed around 1475 with the construction of the nocturnal inlet gate . The main entrance to the suburb was and is the Ulmer Tor . In 1805 the French made efforts to demolish the largest municipal defense tower, Luginsland, and the white flour sack . In 1863, the emergency center was demolished at the request of the suburbanites .
