Guard corridor

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
So-called "Secret Guard Walk" of Nuremberg Castle

A Guard tour was, according to the German dictionary of the brothers Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm one for a guardian of certain transition along or on a city wall .

The value of a guard tour, especially in the Middle Ages , can be measured by the fact that, for example, the Marienröder Hof in Hanover , whose monastery property actually reached right up to the city ​​wall of Hanover , was exempted from certain city taxes for the release of a guard tour. Today's cloister aisle has developed from another guardian walk along the city ​​wall of Hanover .
