The ramparts were built in 1270 for the city defense. The city wall, formerly more than 3 km long, with many towers and cradle houses and 22 gates at widely varying levels (30 m), was later transformed into a park.

Ponds, fountains, "The Drinking" statue, bronze sculptures and an obelisk can be discovered in the park today. An open door in the city wall invites you to visit the monastery "Zum Heiligen Kreuz".
From the Kröpelin Gate to Schwaansche Straße stretches the longest piece of the city wall, 450 meters.
